Adelaide to Perth road trip: Across the Eyre Peninsula

The drive from Port Augusta to Ceduna, South Australia is 468km in distance, with a Port Augusta to Ceduna driving time of four hours and 55 minutes. On the way across the top of the Eyre Peninsula, you can get your photo taken under the Halfway Across Australia sign in Kimba. Those with more time on their hands might like to add in a detour or two. Options include adventures in the Gawler Ranges, beach time at Streaky Bay or swimming with Australian sea lions at Baird Bay.

Gawler Ranges Wilderness Safaris runs day tours from Wudinna. If you’re shorter on time, the wave-like Pildappa Rock makes for a quicker diversion.
