Eyre Peninsula (sh)




Large promontory, South Australia.

Projecting into the Indian Ocean, the peninsula is about 200 mi (320 km) long and lies between the Great Australian Bight and Spencer Gulf. Wheat, sheep, and barley are raised there; iron is extracted in the Middleback Ranges to the northeast. There are numerous resort and fishing towns along the coasts.
