Wild Dog Hill Tour

The Wild Dog Hill Tour departs from the Whyalla Visitor Centre and travels by bus to the Whyalla Conservation Park, where visitors can enjoy a relaxed self-guided walk up onto the summit of Wild Dog Hill before returning to the tour guide for morning tea.

Located approximately 8 km north of Whyalla along the Lincoln Highway, the Whyalla Conservation Park is a tranquil natural reserve renowned for its scenic landscapes and native wildlife. A highlight of the park is Wild Dog Hill, a distinctive red sandstone outcrop that offers spectacular views and is especially striking in the soft light of sunrise and sunset. The hill can be reached via a short, easy walk suitable for most fitness levels.

Visitors can experience the park's natural beauty through walking, birdwatching, wildlife spotting, and photography, while taking in panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The reserve is managed by the National Parks and Wildlife Service South Australia with the support of the Friends of Whyalla Conservation Park, whose ongoing efforts help preserve this special natural environment for future generations.

For your comfort and safety, they recommend wearing sturdy walking shoes and comfortable outdoor clothing. As conditions can vary, it is advisable to bring layered clothing, a hat, sunscreen, and a light waterproof jacket to suit changing weather conditions.
