Summary
Weather for Iron Knob

Iron Knob, on the Eyre Peninsula, is the birthplace of the Australian steel industry.

Iron ore was first discovered here in the mid 18th century, but it was not until 1899 when BHP (BHP Billiton/BHP Steel) was granted iron ore leases that the true value of the rich high grade ore deposits were recognised. The mine operated for 99 years with 150 million tons being mined from the leases of Iron Knob and Iron Monarch.

Iron Knob is 50km north west of Whyalla. Today Onesteel Whyalla Steelworks primarily operates from Iron Duke in the Middle Back Ranges.
