About this place
What to expect
Overlooking the Spencer Gulf and City of Whyalla, the beach at the bottom of Hummock Hill was the site of the first European settlement in 1901. It is a significant Aboriginal place both mythological and as a camping ground. During World War Two it served as a gun battery and observation post. The 1980s development of the lookout utilised the old gun emplacements that can still be seen today. A one-way sealed road takes vehicles to the top of the hill. Hummock Hill is also a part of the City Walk Centenary Trail. City Walk Centenary Trail includes Hummock Hill lookout and all interpretive signs along the way.
