The coastal regions of the Eyre Peninsula are marked by limestone cliffs and sandy beaches. Moving inland, the fertile plains, especially around areas like Cummins and Ungarra, support agriculture, with nutrient-rich soils suitable for crops like wheat and barley. In contrast, some inland and northern areas may have sandier and less nutrient-dense soils.
This diversity in soil composition contributes to the varied landscapes and land uses across the Eyre Peninsula, from thriving farmland to more arid regions.
