Innes National Park is a haven for birdlife. The hooded plover, a threatened species in South Australia, nests on beaches across the park and the population of malleefowl, another endangered species, is on the rise. Ospreys breed on the cliffs and can be seen along the whole of the coast as they hunt. Once widespread across the Yorke Peninsula, the tammar wallaby became extinct on the Australian mainland by the s. They were reintroduced to Australia, and to Innes National Park, in The park now boasts a growing population of healthy tammar wallabies.
In winter months, you might catch a glimpse of southern right whales from the cliff tops at Stenhouse Bay or Cape Spencer. Dolphins frequent the coastal waters and seals and sea-lions occasionally haul up on the beaches. The Narungga people have lived on Yorke Peninsula for many thousands of years and they know the land intimately — its physical features, animal and plant life and water resources.
The Narungga nation was made up of four clans: Today, the Narungga people continue to maintain strong cultural links to the region. Aboriginal peoples have occupied, enjoyed and managed the lands and waters of this State for thousands of generations. There are many places across the State that have great spiritual significance to Aboriginal first nations. At some of these places Aboriginal cultural protocols, such as restricted access, are promoted and visitors are asked to respect the wishes of Traditional Owners.
In places where protocols are not promoted visitors are asked to show respect by not touching or removing anything, and make sure you take all your rubbish with you when you leave. Aboriginal peoples continue to play an active role in caring for their Country, including in parks across South Australia. We have picked the brains of our park rangers to find out what they would recommend you see and do whilst visiting this park. Innes National Park has an excellent choice of walking trails.
Varying from a 30 minute short stroll to a four hour hike, the trails provide some of the best coastal views in the state, including the Stenhouse Bay Lookout Walk and West Cape Headland Hike, which offers spectacular degree views of the coastal landscape from a lookout. Learn about the site's European heritage on the Thomson-Pfitzner Plaster Trail Hike from historic Inneston Township to Stenhouse Bay, or observe the native plants and animals along the many trails.
Many of the parks walking trails have been linked with the Yorke Peninsula Council's Walk the Yorke walking trail project. The trail now traverses the entire park with entry and exits at Marion Bay and Gym Beach. This popular trail takes you back to the early s and the gypsum-mining era. Interpretive signs tell the story of the close-knit community of Inneston. Beware of unstable ruins. Follow the cliff tops through low, closed coastal heath.
