Wednesday 25th Feb 2015 - Innes National Park (Marion Bay)

Headed off this afternoon to explore The Innes National Park.  Sensational scenery, I think even better than the Great Ocean Road as there wasn't the crowds so we had it to ourselves. First stop Stenhouse Bay where we had a look at the Jetty. The first plaque was information about The Hougomont which sank on the 21st April 1932.

From Stenhouse Bay we drove further into The Innes National Park to Chinamans Hat where the wreck of "Marion" is. The beach here is again absolutely beautiful and you can see the reefs, so it would have been very dangerous for the ships in the early days.

Onwards to Cape Spencer where we walked up to the lighthouse. Lovely sunny day with only a slight breeze so very pleasant walking.

Called in to have alook at the Inneston Historic Township where we wandered around thinking how hard it would have been to live there as it was so remote. Not more than a ghost town nowadays but you can rent out the Heritage accommodation if you want. NOT for me thank you very much.......

 Last stop was Ethel Beach where the wreck of "Ethel" is on the beach and you can see parts of the wreckage "Ferret" just off the shore. 133 steps down to the beach, but worth it.

I have had the best day today exploring and having a good look around the very tip of The Yorke Peninsula.  It is most definitely a spot worth visiting. Spectacular........
