Murphy’s Haystacks
Murphy's Haystacks are a unique feature of the West Coast of South Australia. About 39k south of the quiet seaside town of Streaky Bay stands a rock formation called Murphy's Haystacks. The origin of the name is interesting in itself but the rocks or "inselbergs" that are the haystacks are even more fascinating. A must see for every visitor.
