There is perhaps no better place to see Yorke Peninsula scenery than Dhilba Guuranda–Innes National Park (formerly Innes National Park). This national park is one of the many coastal parks in South Australia, but none quite have sandy beaches and a rugged coastline within a few kilometres like Dhilba Guuranda–Innes National Park.

Although the national park protecting the coastal wilderness is small with an area of just 94.15 km2 (36.35 sq mi), it's the state's most visited park (despite the distance from Adelaide nearing 300 km). With distances between many points of interest being comparatively short, Dhilba Guuranda–Innes National Park is never short of what a coastal wilderness needs to have.

▸History1,077 chars

The first peoples of this area area were the Narrunga Aboriginal people, who consisted of four clans: the Kurnara of the north, the Windera of the east, the Wari of the West and the Dilpa of the south.

The first European settlers cultivated land around Cape Spencer for grazing by sheep around 1847. The national park is named after William Robert Innes, who found commercially exploitable deposits of gypsum in the area at the beginning of the 20th century, which were then exploited until the 1930s. The main tourist settlement in the park, 1 Inneston was founded in the early 1900s for this exact purpose was converted into a tourist town after the demise of mining.

The park was then established in 1970 to protect the remaining patch of coastal wilderness. In 2020, the park became a part of a joint-management program where the park was co-mananged by the National Parks and Wildlife Service and the Narungga traditional owners, to celebrate its 50th anniversary. It was also renamed from Innes National Park to Dhilba Guuranda–Innes National Park in recognition of this.

Seasonal rhythm for coastal walks

The park’s cliff‑top tracks are at their most rewarding in the cooler months, when the southern breezes strip away the summer heat and the native grasses turn a muted gold. Mid‑autumn brings a subtle shift in bird activity; shore‑birds begin their migratory stop‑overs, offering keen observers the chance to note species rarely seen inland. Winter’s lower tides expose tide‑pools that are teeming with anemones and small crustaceans, turning a simple stroll into a natural history lab. By contrast, the summer heat can make the exposed headlands feel relentless, so early‑morning treks or late‑afternoon walks are the practical way to enjoy the same vistas without the swelter.

Beyond the beach: inland bushcraft experiences

While the coastline draws most visitors, the park’s interior supports a quietly compelling bushcraft scene. The sand‑dune ridges transition into low‑lying mallee scrub, where fire‑adapted flora such as the glossy golden wattle provide shelter and material for low‑impact shelter building. Guided foraging walks, run by local Aboriginal rangers, introduce participants to edible seeds and medicinal plants that have sustained the Kaurna people for millennia. For those comfortable with navigation, a 12‑kilometre loop from the main campground to the historic stone ruins offers a glimpse of early European settlement remnants, set against a backdrop of ochre‑coloured cliffs that change tone with the sun.

Being a coastal wilderness, there isn't exactly one thing to see – the many points of interest tend to vary from scenic lookouts to historic sites to lighthouses – the diversity is what made this park the most visited in the state in 2021.

1 Cape Spencer Lookout, Pondalowie Bay Road. A roadside lookout along Pondalowie Bay Road, that gives views of Cape Spencer and the road ahead, similar to that pictured to the right. (updated Jun 2023)

2 Ethel Wreck, Ethel Beach Rd. As implied by the name, Ethel Beach is home to Ethel Wreck, named after the ship Ethel which wrecked on the beach. The Ethel became an unfortunate victim of the storm in 1904 while it was en route to Port Adelaide from South Africa, causing it to end up on this beach. The 711-tonne iron ship has since remained on this beach for over a hundred years since. (updated Jun 2023)

3 Royston Head, Browns Beach Road. A more northerly lookout but one that's more secluded. Access to the lookout is via a 2.4-kilometre hike (one-way) from Browns Beach Road. There is parking near the start of the trail, but it is limited. (updated Jun 2023)

4 Stenhouse Bay Jetty (250 metres south of lookout carpark). A jetty where the water beneath you is both turquoise and dark blue – it's a good place if you want to take a photo for the 'gram (or even if you want to take a photo of the landscape from the bay). (updated Jun 2023)

▸Lighthouses847 chars

There are two lighthouses in Dhilba Guuranda–Innes National Park. Both of which are automated, but the reason why both are popular with tourists is for the views they provide.

5 Cape Spencer Lighthouse, Cape Spencer Rd. While the cape is known for its lighthouse, the primary reason for the cape's popularity is its well-positioned lighthouse which provides picturesque photo opportunities (such as that seen in the banner). Like most other lighthouses, Cape Spencer Lighthouse was built for navigation aid purposes and was fully automated in 1975. (updated Jun 2023)

6 West Cape Lighthouse, West Cape Rd. The park's other lighthouse which may not be impressive, both in the sense of looks and significance, but what the lighthouse does have is a nearby 360° lookout of the ocean and classic Yorke Peninsula coastal scenery. (updated Jun 2023)

▸Short walks998 chars

Inneston Historic Walk (coloured on map) – a 1-km walk within the historic town of Inneston passing through various now-abandoned buildings. Some of them may be visitable, but make sure you don't accidentally intrude into a building that has now been renovated into a lodge.

Pondalowie Boardwalk (coloured on map) – a 1.2-km (return) walk that takes roughly about 40 minutes to complete. The boardwalk passes through high and ecologically pristine sand dunes before terminating at a long viewing platform near the beach (which is accessible via three sets of stairs from the platform). (except beach)

Stenhouse Bay Lookout Walk (coloured on map) – the closest walk to the visitor centre, 2 km return and takes 40 minutes. It passes both Stenhouse Bay Lookout and the Stenhouse Bay Jetty.

West Cape Headland Hike (coloured on map) – this hike gives you views of Pondalowie Bay, Wedge and the Althorpe Islands. It's a 30-minute and 1-kilometer loop and does not require high fitness levels.

▸Longer trails994 chars

Gym Beach Hike (coloured on map) – this is the longest trail in the park and is a good 5.5-km bushwalk one way. It takes about 2 hours to complete one way, and is the only piece of infrastructure anywhere in the park that connects Gym Beach with the rest of the park (the only other way to access Gym Beach is via a separate road from Marion Bay). The trail passes through very high sand dunes – if you're into birdwatching, then make sure to bring a camera along.

Royston Head Hike (coloured on map) – a 4-km return hike linking the cliffs of Royston Head with the carpark. The trail contains many informative signs along the way about the local plantlife along the way.

Thomson-Pfitzner Plaster Trail Hike (coloured on map) – this trail is 7 km (one way) from the visitor centre to the remains of Inneston. It is relatively easy, but also very uninteresting compared to the others. You don't need to hike this trail to get to the ruins as there is parking right next to the town itself.

▸Lodging2,370 chars

Most lodges are concentrated around the old settlement of Inneston. You will most likely have to stay for a minimum period of two nights (the booking system will not allow you to book for one night), so if you are thinking of staying for just one night, consider camping or finding a motel in Marion Bay.

▸Camping2,165 chars

Camping at Dhilba Guuranda–Innes National Park is similar to any other South Australian national park, except not a single campground has a shower. It's a great way to better connect with the coastal wilderness of the park, but also to save some cash if you're travelling on a budget.

Not all campgrounds are wheelchair-acessible – campgrounds that are wheelchair accessible are marked with a icon.

It is a popular destination for camping, bushwalking, fishing, surfing and scuba diving.

History

[edit] Prior use of the land[edit] Further information: Inneston, South Australia § History The Narungga people occupied the Yorke Peninsula for thousands of years. They consisted of four clans, the Kurnara of the north, the Windera of the east, the Wari of the West and the Dilpa of the south. They are the traditional owners of the land, and have strong cultural links to it, with some sites having particular spiritual significance. European colonisation of the area began in 1846 with sheep grazing near Cape Spencer. Crops were grown on a small scale in the 19th and early 20th century. Innes National Park was named after William Innes, who discovered commercial quantities of gypsum in the early 1900s and founded the mining town of Inneston in 1913, which had a population of around 500 at its peak. Gypsum was mined until 1930 when the Great Depression made it uneconomical, and in 1970 the town and surrounding land was sold to the South Australian government, creating Innes National Park. Some gypsum mining still continues at nearby Marion Bay.[citation needed] National park[edit] The national park was declared on 5 March 1970 under the National Parks Act 1966 as the Innes National Park, to "conserve important habitat for the western whipbird, the mallee fowl and to protect a number of heritage buildings at Inneston". Land was added to the national park in 1977, 1984 and 1993 to deal with increased recreational use. It was renamed as the Dhilba Guuranda–Innes National Park on 14 November 2020 in recognition of a co-management agreement signed by the Government of South Australia and the Narungga people. Some of the buildings at Inneston have been restored and are available as basic hire accommodation.[citation needed]

Description

[edit] Location[edit] Cape Spencer lighthouse Dhilba Guuranda–Innes National Park is located on the southern western extremity of Yorke Peninsula in South Australia about 300 kilometres (190 miles) by road from the Adelaide city centre. It is located within the locality officially known as Inneston. Extent[edit] The national park occupies most of the land on the south-western tip of Yorke Peninsula south west of a line running from Willyama Bay on the south coast of the peninsula near Marion Bay to Gym Beach on the west coast of the peninsula and the following four islands immediately adjoining the coastline (from east to west): Chinamans Hat Island, Middle Island and South Island west of Pondalowie Bay, and Royston Island immediately west of Royston Head. Within the above area, land excluded from the national park includes the following saline lakes which were associated with gypsum mining at the time of proclamation of the national park - Marion Lake, Snow Lake and Spider Lake. As of 2014, the national park included the following "no access" areas (from east to west) - a section of coastline between Cape Spencer and Ethel Beach, South and Middle Islands at the entrance to Pondalowie Bay, Royston Island, the coastline between Royston Head and Dolphin Beach, and the coastline between Browns Beach and Gym Beach. Physical landscape[edit] Rhino Head at the eastern end of Stenhouse Bay The coastline extending from Willyama Bay to Cape Spencer consists of a number of bays such as Cable Bay and Stenhouse Bay with some prominent headlands such as Rhino Head and a line of cliffs between Cable Bay and Stenhouse Bay. From Cape Spencer to West Cape, an unbroken line of cliffs ranging in height between 37 metres (121 feet) and 79 metres (259 feet) with some sandy beaches at their feet make up the south west coast of Yorke Peninsula. From West Cape to Pondalowie Bay, the cliff line is of a relatively lower height. From the south end of Pondalowie Bay to Gym Beach, areas of sand dunes dominate the shoreline and the land immediately adjoining it with the exception of Royston Head and the cliff line extending eastward to Dolphin Beach. The land between the national park's boundary and the road system is dominated in part by a network of saline lakes. Road system[edit] The national park is serviced by a road connected to the western end of the Yorke Highway which passes through Marion Bay. The road which starts at Stenhouse Bay follows the coastline as a sealed road passing Chinamans Hat Island, Cable Bay and the turn-offs to Cape Spencer, Ethel Beach, West Cape and two camping grounds at Pondalowie Bay. The road concludes as a sealed road at the turn-off to the Pondalowie Surf Break Carpark. It continues as an unsealed road, passing turn-offs to Dolphin Beach and Shell Beach, to terminate at Browns Beach in the north west of the national park. Gym Beach in the extreme north west, while being accessible via the national park's walking trail system can only reached via vehicle from the Marion Bay Road which is located to the east of the national park's boundary.

Flora and fauna

[edit] Flora[edit] As of 2003, 333 species of native plants had been recorded in Dhilba Guuranda–Innes National Park of which 115 species were of conservation significance including 24 scheduled in the South Australian National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 and the following four species listed in the Australian Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999: annual candles, winter spider-orchid, bead samphire and splendid bush-pea. Fauna[edit] Malleefowl in the Innes National Park Black snake in Innes National Park See also: Marna Banggara As of 2003, the following animals were recorded within the park: Native mammals included New Zealand fur seal, western pygmy possum, Gould's wattle bat, chocolate wattled bat, common dolphin, southern right whale, western grey kangaroo, Australian sea lion, short-beaked echidna and bottlenose dolphin. Birds included 111 species of native bird, of which 13 species were scheduled in Australian and state legislation. The following 13 species were listed in the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 either as being vulnerable or rare species - chestnut quail-thrush, eastern reef egret, fairy tern, hooded plover, little tern, malleefowl, osprey, painted button-quail, peregrine falcon, rock parrot, shy heathwren, western whipbird and white-bellied sea-eagle while the malleefowl was also recognised nationally as a vulnerable species under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. Reptiles included marbled gecko, mallee snake-eye, painted dragon, barking gecko, yellow-faced whipsnake, black tiger snake, eastern stone gecko, eastern bearded dragon, bull skink, eastern brown snake, four-toed earless skink, peninsula brown snake, southern four-toed slider, common scaly-foot, common dwarf skink, western bluetongue, Adelaide snake-eye, sleepy lizard and prickly dragon. Introduced animals included rock dove, cat, rabbit, house mouse, house sparrow, black rat, common starling and fox. After steps were taken to eradicate pests and fence off the tip of the Yorke Peninsula in a project initially (2019) called the Great Southern Ark and later Marna Banggara, species reintroduction has begun. Brush-tailed bettongs, or woylies, were the first species reintroduced in the area, with the first 40 individuals translocated from Wedge Island, in June 2021. The woylies were the first of about 20 locally extinct species which are to be moved there by around 2040. In July 2022, another 36 woylies were translocated, this time from Western Australia, with the permission of the Noongar traditional custodians, in a move that will boost genetic diversity.

Natural and cultural heritage

[edit] Salt lakes in Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park The national park was listed on the former Register of the National Estate because of its natural and European heritage. Natural heritage[edit] The following three lakes which support a population of stromatolites are listed on the South Australian Heritage Register maintained by the South Australian Government: Deep Lake, Inneston Lake and Marion Lake. Aboriginal heritage[edit] As of 2003, 21 sites of significance to the Narungga people had been identified. These consisted of "burial sites" and a broad classification known as "archaeological sites". European heritage[edit] Stenhouse Bay Jetty Mining[edit] The following two sites at Inneston and Stenhouse Bay associated with the mining of gypsum are listed on the South Australian Heritage Register - the "Inneston Gypsum Complex" and the Stenhouse Bay Jetty. Shipwrecks[edit] What is left of the Ethel in 2021, Ethel Beach, Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park At least four shipwrecks which are located within the national park or immediately adjoining its coastal boundary are protected under Australian and state historic shipwrecks legislation, that is the Underwater Cultural Heritage Act 2018 (Cwth) and the Historic Shipwrecks Act 1981 (SA). SS Marion which run aground to the immediate east of Chinamans Hat Island during 1862. The barque Ethel, which run aground on the coastline between West Cape and Cape Spencer on a beach now known as Ethel Beach during 1904. The remains of the Ethel lie parallel to the shore below the cliff at Ethel Beach. For many years the hull was largely intact, deteriorating gradually with every storm. A severe gale in 1988 caused the hull to completely collapse, leaving the iron frame as the most identifiable feature of the site. The wreck is mostly covered by sand, sometimes revealed more during storms. SS Ferret which run aground in 1920 on what is now Ethel Beach. Hougomont which was scuttled in 1932 to form a breakwater lies close to the coastline near Stenhouse Bay.

Services and attractions

[edit] Camping[edit] Camping grounds are available at the following locations (from east to west) - Stenhouse Bay, Cable Bay, Pondalowie Bay (nine sites for caravans large vehicles, seventeen sites for Camper Trailers), Casuarina, Shell Beach and Gym Beach. Indoor accommodation[edit] Indoor accommodation is available at three locations - a number of restored buildings at Inneston, the Stenhouse Bay hall and a cottage at Shell Beach. Walking[edit] A system of trails allows visitors to the national park to enjoy views of the coastline and adjoining waters and to observe flora and fauna including species such as southern right whales and dolphins and features such as lighthouses and heritage sites. As of 2014, there are three major walking trails - the Thomson Pfitzner Plaster Trail Hike that connects Stenhouse Bay and Inneston, the Royston Head Hike from Dolphin Beach to Royston Head and the Gym Beach Hike which connects Browns Beach and Gym Beach. A number of minor trails connect the road system to locations such as Cape Spencer, Ethel Beach, West Cape and Pondalowie Bay. Surfing[edit] The main surf break at Pondalowie is a popular quality wave. It consists of a combination left and right peak that breaks over a reef and sand bottom. The left is good up to about 4 feet (1.2 m). The right starts to become good from between 3 feet (0.91 m) and 8 feet (2.4 m) plus. A second smaller right-hand reef break known as "Richard's Reef" is located 250 metres (820 ft) further north along the beach. It was named in honour of Richard Thomas, a long-time local surfer and resident of the area. Not far from Stenhouse Bay is a break known as "Chinaman's". This is a powerful and hollow left-hand reef break which breaks in shallow water and washes over a rock shelf. It is a high quality wave that is suitable only for skilled surfers, and caution should be used when surfing here.[citation needed] Recreational diving[edit] This section is empty. You can help by adding to it. (June 2021)
