Whyalla Steelworks Bus Tour

Join a unique bus tour through the 1000-hectare, Whyalla Steelworks site and hear the story behind over a century of significant Australian iron and steel-making history. Learn how it is produced today into over 90 different grades of steel.

Depending on production and maintenance schedules you will get to see different parts of the process operating around the 1000 hectare site. Your tour will take you past the blast furnace, coke ovens, reed beds, steelmaking and casting plant and the rolling mills, where structural steel, rail line and steel railway sleeper sections are made.

Your guide will explain how hematite and magnetite iron ore from the nearby South Middleback Ranges at Iron Duke is transformed into over 90 different grades of steel.
