Murphy's Haystacks situated about 40kms from Streaky Bay just off the Flinders Highway.
Murphy's Haystack were so called because Matthew Flinders on an inland trip happened to comment that "the farmer of the land must have had a good year gathering hay in readiness for the winter". From a distance you certainly can imagine this.
The height of the rocks are incredible as they rise up out of the earth. Slowly they are being worn down by water and wind.
Enormous - you have to wonder when it will topple over and where the rest of the rock landed.
All these rocks are on private land and the owners have fenced them off asking for a $2 per person or $5 per family donation. They have built a covered picnic area and toilet facilities for all to use.
