Mount Wudinna
One of the largest granite monoliths in Australia, with a walking trail to the summit and sweeping views over the central Eyre Peninsula.
Often described as the second-largest granite monolith in Australia after Uluru, Mount Wudinna rises abruptly from the surrounding wheat country. A walking trail climbs over the smooth granite dome to the summit, where the views stretch across a patchwork of farmland to the horizon.
The reserve at its base has picnic facilities and interpretive signage, and the rock takes on rich colours at sunrise and sunset. It is the standout natural landmark of the central peninsula and an easy stop on the Eyre Highway.
