A classic agricultural town in the centre of the lower Eyre Peninsula, surrounded by grain country and dotted with heritage buildings.
The peninsula's farming heart
Cummins sits inland at the centre of the lower Eyre Peninsula, the hub of one of South Australia's most productive grain-growing districts. Its wide main street, historic buildings and surrounding patchwork of wheat and canola paddocks make it a quintessential country town.
The town hosts community events and markets through the year. For travellers it's a friendly inland counterpoint to the coast, and a window into the farming life that underpins the peninsula.
