The County of Way is one of the 49 counties of South Australia on the state's west coast.[1] It was proclaimed circa 1889 by Governor William Robinson and named for Samuel Way, the Chief Justice of the state's Supreme Court at the time.[1]
It covers a portion of the state's west coast from Acraman Creek Conservation Park, just west of Streaky Bay, to Watraba, about 53 kilometres (33 mi) west of Ceduna[1] The northern half of the county spans most of the Yumbarra Conservation Park.
