Innes National Park is a protected stretch of blinding white beaches, rocky coves and dune-side campgrounds fronting the improbable blue waters of the Spencer Gulf, right on the southwestern tip of South Oz’s Yorke Peninsula.
Daydreams
SAPPHIRE COAST, NSW
The Sapphire Coast, the southeastern corner of NSW, is blessed with bountiful undeveloped coastline and lush hinterland ripe with lightly trafficked bush tracks and campsites.
DUNDEE BEACH, NT
Dundee Beach, 140 clicks outta Darwin proper, offers first rate driving down towards Finnis River and is home to some of the finest tropical sportfishing and mud crabbing opportunities anywhere.
THE KROOMBIT TOPS, QLD
Kroombit Tops National Park is a gorgeous hinterland enclave of rainforest and dense woodlands interspersed with a fistful of campsites and a snaking network of mountain tracks.
AVONDALE, WA
An easy drive east from the capital to the Lakes Roadhouse, through the eucalypt forest of Wandoo National Park out to Avondale. The 300km loop is perfect for a long daytrip, even allowing time for a trackside smoko pitstop.
CHICHESTER STATE FOREST, NSW
Chichester State Forest is a knockout spot in the hinterland of the NSW lower north coast. It’s about a three-hour run north of Sydney and is imbued with the sort of serenity that makes it feel much further afield.
