South Australia Bucket List

 

6. Mt. Wudinna, SA

Location: 12kms north-east of Wudinna, Eyre Peninsula, SA
Mt. Wudinna, SA's largest exposed monolith, is in the heart of South Australia's granite country. In addition to its fascinating geological landforms, Mount Wudinna, like many of the bare granite hills in the district, is encompassed by low stone walls to catch and divert run off water. These channels were constructed by hand when the area was first settled and provided the only source of water for farms and the town for a number of years. Mount Wudinna stands 260 m above the surrounding area and covers an area of about 112 ha.

7. Pildappa Rock, SA

Location: Wundinna, Eyre Peninsula, SA
Located near Mt. Wudinna, Pildappa Rock is a unique pink inselberg located 15 kilometres northeast of Minnipa. Situated in South Australia's granite country, it is proudly proclaimed by locals as a rival to the more famous "Wave Rock" located in Hyden WA. Formed about 1500 million years ago Pildappa Rock is part of the vast Gawler Craton - a geological shield structure covering central Eyre Peninsula, the Gawler Ranges and large parts of outback South Australia.
