Sheep Hill is a proposed port in South Australia for the export of iron ore. [2] The port would be built by Centrex Metals.
[edit] Transport
It is located about 20km northeast of Tumby Bay and would be served by a 27km narrow gauge branchline from Ungarra on the Eyre Peninsular Railway. [3]
The port would take Capesize ships.
