Innes National Park boasts outstanding natural beauty as well as lighthouses, shipwrecks, a ghost town and is the only place that you can see a wild population of Mainland Tammar Wallaby in the world. The park covers 92sq km and offers excellent fishing, spectacular clifftop walks and the legendary Chinaman’s surf break. The ghost town of Inneston is a lonely outpost where gypsum was mined in the early 20th Century. Today you can walk around the ruins of a school, post office, bakery and general store, and stay overnight in renovated historic cottages.
