Overlooking the Spencer Gulf and City of Whyalla, the beach at the bottom of Hummock Hill was the site of the first European settlement in 1901. It is a significant Aboriginal place both mythological and as a camping ground. During World War Two it served as a gun battery and observation post. The 1980s development of the lookout utilised the old gun emplacements that can still be seen today.
A one-way sealed road takes vehicles to the top of the hill.
Hummock Hill is also a part of the City Walk Centenary Trail.
City Walk Centenary Trail includes Hummock Hill lookout and all interpretive signs along the way.
