Murphys Haystacks is een rotsformatie van het type inselberg in in de Australische deelstaat Zuid-Australiƫ. Zij is gelegen tussen en Port Kenny op het . Ze verkregen hun naam doordat een busreiziger de formatie op een afstand zag. Hij vroeg hoe een boer zoveel hooi kon produceren. De boerderij was in het bezit van een man met de naam Murphy, waardoor de rotsen bekend kwamen onder de naam Murphys Haystacks. * rdf:langString
Murphy's Haystacks are inselberg rock formations located at Mortana, between Streaky Bay and Port Kenny on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. They are of a 'tumulus' form of weathered granite outcrop. They are made of a pink, massive, coarsely equigranular rock consisting mostly of quartz and orthoclase. Their appearance may be due to a combination of erosion by underground rainwater and then by subsequent weathering after they were exposed. Most of the pillars emerge without a break from the underlying granite. Their structural base may be of orthogonal or vertically-aligned sheet jointing. rdf:langString

Most of the pillars emerge without a break from the underlying granite. Their structural base may be of orthogonal or vertically-aligned sheet jointing. They obtained their name because a traveller in a coach saw the formation in the distance. He asked how a farmer could produce so much hay. As the farm was on a property owned by a man called Murphy, the rocks became known as Murphy's Haystacks. The site is listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.
