yorke peninsular

Head in from Edithburg and then down to Saltana Point. Modest dirt road all the way. From Saltana Point follow the South Coast road sticking right to the coast all the way. The whole area is very picturesque with plenty of places for you to pull up for the night. Make Troubridge Drive a must see!! You willl know it by the red lighthouse. Spend a night here if you can , plenty of areas to pull up to. Great fishing also at this point.

Make your way through Port Moorowie and Foul Bay. Continue to Point Davenport Conservation Park but without the Van.

At the end of the South Coast Road, you are almost into Marion Bay and Innes National Park.

It is the perfect way into Innes and a nice drive. It is classified as a 4WD track but it is very much on the easy side.

A visit to Mt Ive Station is worthwhile.
Friendly people, you can camp or stay in the shearers quarters, some great tracks to explore, etc.

Ill cop flack for this but the Yorke Penninsula was where we would go if there wasnt time to visit theWest coast of the Eyre Penninsula.
There was far less people, the fishing was better and the scenery more varied. If youve got a couple of weeks or more thats what i would (have done plenty of times) do

Visit the copper triangle towns of Kadina, Wallarroo and Moonta.
They are full of historic mining sites and facinating Olde World shops and museums. Great fishing at Wallarroo, Moonta and Port Hughes.
Also towards the south end there is a military museum at Booblawcowie(?) worth a look.
Browns Beach and Sherrifs Beach are top beach fishing spots.
For Blue Swimmer Crabs visist Port Broughton as they are in abundance at the minute.
Have fun.

G'day Peter......

I agree with Davoe that the west coast is probably more scenic and has better fishing than Yorke Peninsula. (BTW: what I know about fishing.... well you could write it all down on the back of a half-sucked Aspro)...hahaha

Anyway, we live in Kadina where I am the President of the YP 4WD Club (not that that means anything really....it's just that I may know a bit more than some people.....perhaps).

Gleesons Landing is a place that would be "friendly" towards your van etc. Also, as stated above, the track out of Edithburgh along the south coast is a good idea..... there is a camping site (no amenities) about 11klm out of town. It is between the track and the beach. On the opposite side of the track you'll be just about in the shadow of one of the 55 large wind-turbines/generators.

On your way down the eastern side, you might like to go into Tiddy Widdy beach. There is plenty of places to camp on the sand about 4klm north of the village; but be aware the sand can be soft and boggy. We have had people get in there with vans in tow, but you'll need to let your tyres down. Head north along the coast from Ardrossan to Tiddy Widdy, keep going and about 4klm north, you'll see some tracks leading in between the scrub.

On the western side, The Gap is another decent camping place.

If you'd like to catch up for a coffee etc , just let me know. My mobile is 0414 890 148.
