Wildlife Encounters
There are opportunities for once in a lifetime wildlife encounters on Yorke Peninsula, including viewing the migration of Southern-Right Whales between May and September and dolphins in the shallows year-round.
Abundant birdlife includes the rare western whipbird and white-bellied sea eagle. Keen twitchers can also tick black-faced cormorants, wedge-tailed eagles, falcons, osprey and crested tern off their list. A few lifers in there for sure!
Closer to the ground you're likely to come across emus, western grey kangaroos, western pygmy possums and the elusive ground-dwelling mallee fowl.
Many towns throughout the region have nature walks; stroll through native bushland or watch pelicans lazing on the beach, black swans drifting gracefully and a myriad of other coastal birdlife.
