• Weather for Coulta

Coulta is a small country community at the foot of Marble Range, in scenic sheep and cereal farming country.

A short drive takes you to the beautiful, tranquil beaches for surf fishing, diving, board surfing or sunbathing. These beaches being Coles, Greenly, Convention Beach, the latter famous for its salmon fishing.

A large salt lake, Lake Greenly, can be seen at the foot of Mount Greenly, an area frequented by hang-gliders.

Some 35 kilometres north of Coulta is a stretch of highway between Mount Hope and Sheringa which runs tantalisingly close to some of the most spectacular coastline to be found on Eyre Peninsula.

Cummings Monument Lookout, 60 kilometres south of Elliston, affords an uninterrupted view from Point Drummond in the south to the rugged cliffs of Sheringa in the north. It is also home to a family of osprey which nest on a craggy pinnacle adjacent to the lookout.

The lookout is serviced by a short well formed access road and carpark with plenty of room for caravans, well worth a stop for tourists travelling the Flinders Highway between Port Lincoln and Ceduna.
