We had a week to spare before speed week dry lake racing on Lake Gairdner so thought we'd explore Innes National Park, right down on the 'foot' of the Yorke Peninsular 'boot'.
The peninsular is about 300km from tip to toe, and we drove though unending fields of wheat or stubble, till we entered the national park. The beaches were white sand, clear water and perfect for swimming. Kevin liked the surf beaches, but I preferred the still waters of the rock pools.

Inneston, now abandoned and turned into a national park, was once a thriving gypsum and salt mining town from the late 1800's till about 1930.
Many of the old buildings are still there, we walked the historic town, and as usual Kevin managed to find an old wood fired bakers oven... not working though.

We had 5 nights at Innes Nat park, and each day we swan, bush walked and relaxed... a great location. We camped near the 'fisherman's village' which is a handful of old shacks that existed before the national park was declared. Mainly used during the cray season Nov to May, and on a limited lease hold so wont be there for much longer.
If you are looking for bush camping and great beaches, with very few other people, this is a must when visiting SA.

Looks like you are having a great time and the weather looks brilliant.
ReplyDeleteStill swimming in March, we’ve been really lucky with the weather and how warm the water is. There are so many beaches to choose from regardless of the wind direction we manage to keep out of the breeze. Jane
