Murphy's Haystacks - Ancient Granite Rock - Streaky Bay

Direct Phone Number : (08) 8626 5054
Return to Streaky Bay

Murphy’s Haystacks are ancient wind-worn pillars and boulders of pink granite estimated to be over 1,500 million years old.

Set in the middle of a wheat field and surrounded by mallee scrub, they are one of the most popular and photographed attractions on the Eyre Peninsula.

Visitors to the Haystacks are invited to explore and discover these majestic inselberge with a walking track, interpretive signage and sheltered picnic facilities.

Murphy’s Haystacks are located on the Cash family farm, 39 kilometres south of Streaky Bay and just two kilometres off the main Flinders Highway on the main road into Calca and Point Labatt.
