WHYALLA

Background

DISCLAIMER: This page is depicting events in an alternate history timeline where Whyalla, a (real) industrial regional city in South Australia, never declined to the same extent as it did in our timeline. I am mainly using this page as a creative outlet, and I am very poor in HTML.

WHYALLA, the "Steel City" is a medium sized regional city in the Australian state of South Australia, founded in 1916 as Hummock's Hill. It is the second-largest city in the state after Adelaide, and South Australia's main industrial (especially steel-making) hub. It is a large seaport located on the eastern coast of the barren Eyre Peninsula, adjacent to the Spencer Gulf, and contains one of Australia's two fully-integrated steelworks, aswell as a large shipbuilding facility producing primarily merchant vessels. Since the opening of the steelworks in 1941, Whyalla's population has grown steadily, helped by the construction of the aforementioned shipbuilding facility, the expansion of the steelmaking and tourism industries, and Australia's oldest desalination plant in 1985, which supplies 90% of the water for the city. The port of Whyalla has been exporting raw iron from the inland settlement of Iron Knob since 1903.
