Hummock Hill Lookout
Overlooking the eastern end of Whyalla, Hummock Hill is another must for visitors. It was developed by BHP as a gift to the city to commemorate BHPs centenary year, and handed over to the City Council during the 1986 South Australian Jubilee 150 Royal visit.
Hummock Hill was the site of the first settlement at the turn of the century. During World War Two it saw service as a gun battery and observation post - in fact development of the lookout utilised the old gun emplacements that can still be seen today. It affords an unequalled view of Whyalla and the vast BHP operations. Whyalla foreshore and marina, across Spencer Gulf to the Southern Flinders Ranges and including nearby Point Lowly Lighthouse and the Santos Plant at Port Bonython, and westward towards the iron ore rich Middleback Ranges.
A one way sealed road takes vehicles to the top of the hill.
