About Innes National Park

This Coastal National Park on the York Peninsular offers spectacular landsacapes and 7 different campgrounds.

Stromatolites

As one of only a few places in the world where you can see stromatolites, Innes National Park offers the nature lover a chance to catch a glimpse of what the earth was like before. These ancient structures are built up over centuries by algae trapping silt, under successive layers. Stromatolites in the park have been estimated to be approximately 3000 years old.

Maritime

With over 40 shipwrecks off the York Peninsular, with the most famous being the Ethel which was shipwrecked in 1904 during a storm, the area has become popular with scuba divers.

It is not surprising that the Cape Spencer and West Cape lighthouses are still operating along this treacherous stretch of coastline.

Walking

There are a variety of walking tracks throughout Innes National Park, varying from short to long and difficult. Most of the walks take in the coastal views where you can see whales migrating and dolphins as well seal lions and seals.

Wildlife

As well as the Whales and dolphins, you are likely to see a wide variety of birds (with over 120 different species spotted throughout the park).

If you take your fishing rod, you might also get a chance to see some mulloway and whiting (I only have ever caught tommy ruffs and garfish but that's OK).

Entry Fees There is a per vehicle entry fee of $10 ($8 for pensioners)
