Innes National Park

What a wonderful day we had exploring Innes National Park. Starting out at the Stenhouse Bay Jetty. The site of an old gypsum mine. I love seeing the local history of places. We did the 2k walk across the cliff and through the coastal heath. You can see Kangaroo Island in the distance from here

Then on to the Cape Spencer Lighthouse. With more magnificent views. A family of strange Asians thought it was a perfectly good idea to climb through the safety fence with their 3 tiny children and stand on the edge of the cliffs to get photos. Regardless of the many signs warning not to.

The wreck of the Ethel was our next stop. A beautiful beach down many steps to get to it. Sadly, a boy was killed by a shark here last week. We didn't go down just admired the view from the platform. Not much of the wreck still visible.

The West Cape Lighthouse was our next stop. Had our picnic lunch looking out over Dolphin Bay. Then did the walk out to the Lighthouse. Was a rough rocky walk, worth it for the veiws.

Then, down to Shell Beach. It's a great little sheltered beach area. There are a few fishing huts down here still being used. Lots of cars with boat trailers on the beach. We had a little paddle in the water.Läs mer
