Dear Principal and School Excursion Coordinator

RE: SCHOOL EXCURSION OFFER – UNEARTH & EXPERIENCE WHYALLA - STAY AT THE POINT LOWLY LIGHTHOUSE KEEPERS COTTAGES, UPPER SPENCER GULF.

We understand the ongoing challenges of sourcing suitable excursion and camp locations and would like to offer you somewhere distinct to experience for your students, along with a unique accommodation solution.

We invite you to consider unearthing the adventures, landscapes and natural wonders of Whyalla when staying at the historic Point Lowly Lighthouse Keeper’s Cottages situated at Point Lowly, a short 25 minute drive from the city of Whyalla.

Set on the coast, under the night light of the Point Lowly Lighthouse, these two historic cottages each provide dormitory style accommodation with 29 bunk beds, configured as a blend of 25 single and two double per cottage. Each cottage contains a kitchen, lounge area and bathroom facilities; also an outdoor undercover area, outdoor gas BBQ and a fire pit are provided. There is also a separate 9m x 6m recreation room available.

The cottages are located seconds away from both sandy and rocky beaches, walking and biking trails and enjoy spectacular views of the Southern Finders Ranges. Your visit can be enhanced with educational and recreational group activities to nearby attractions including:

• Guided Whyalla Steelworks, HMAS Whyalla Ship, aquaculture and Iron Knob Mine Tours • Whyalla Maritime and Mt Laura Homestead Museums • Snorkelling with Giant Cuttlefish (seasonal) • Ten Pin Bowling, cinema and shows • Indoor heated pools, Whyalla Foreshore, marina and beaches

Enclosed is a flyer to share with your teaching staff and an information pack including, booking and pricing information, a range of education based sample itineraries and relevant maps.
