Spencer Gulf
Spencer Gulf is the westernmost of two large inlets on Australia’s southern coast, facing the Great Australian Bight. The Gulf is 322 km (200 mi) long and 129 km (80 mi) wide at its mouth. The western shore is the Eyre Peninsula, while the eastern side is the Yorke Peninsula, which separates it from the smaller Gulf St Vincent. The largest towns on the gulf are Whyalla, Port Pirie, and Port Augusta. Among smaller towns are Wallaroo and Port Broughton.
The first to document these two incredible gulfs was Matthew Flinders in April 1802: ‘Our examination of the Gulf of St Vincent was now finished; and the country round it had appeared to be generally superior to that on the borders of Spencer’s Gulf. Yorke’s Peninsula between them is singular in its form, bearing some resemblance to a very ill-shaped leg and foot.
