Cleve - SA RVFT

Cleve is located on the Eyre Peninsula, south of Whyalla. This small township is the ‘Rural Heart of Eyre Peninsula’, with its major industries being agriculture and retail. Cleve’s history dates back to the 1850s. The area was seen as good wheat and sheep country, but the harshness of the environment and the loneliness of the Eyre Peninsula discouraged women settlers, with the first female arriving nine years after her husband. Today, Cleve is a quiet little community with an attractive main street. There is a number of mosaic and public artworks on display, depicting local heritage and culture. The National Trust Agricultural and Folk Museum is located in the old Council Chambers in Third Street and is open upon request. The Lions Centenary Park is just the place for a barbecue or picnic.
