The Eyre Peninsula in South Australia boasts several maritime museums that exhibit the region's maritime history, shipbuilding heritage, and natural wonders. One prominent museum is the Whyalla Maritime Museum, renowned for its focus on naval history, BHP shipbuilding, and the upper Spencer Gulf's maritime and natural history. A highlight of the museum is the HMAS Whyalla, the inaugural modern warship constructed in South Australia in 1941, now prominently exhibited on dry land near the sea. Additionally, the museum houses the 1814 edition of Matthew Flinders' journals, artifacts from the Singing to the Sharks exhibition, and a sizable HO gauge Model Railway, one of the largest in the Southern Hemisphere.
In Ceduna, the Ceduna School House Museum showcases a collection of Aboriginal artifacts and items associated with the Maralinga Village. Noteworthy exhibits include the skull and ribs of a Southern Right Whale, along with a display of whale bones at the town's western end, marking the site of a former whaling station. Whaling played a significant role in the region's history, a narrative visitors can delve into at the museum. Moreover, the schoolhouse museum presents early Indigenous artifacts, while its display sheds exhibit various farming equipment, offering insights into the area's agricultural heritage.
