Thevenard
Thevenard, situated on South
Australia's far west Eyre Peninsula, is a town with a strong connection to the
sea. Named after French admiral Antoine-Jean-Marie
Thévenard, it serves as a vital deep-sea port exporting
grain, salt, mineral sands, and gypsum.
While not a major tourist destination,
visitors can enjoy stunning views of the wharf area, islands, and Denial Bay from Pinky Point Lookout.

community, with the Thevenard Sports & Community Club offering dinners during the winter football season.
