Two Wheels Through Innes
Some days are just made for two wheels and a tank full of fuel. Our ride through Dhilba Guuranda–Innes National Park was one of them.
We left the motorhome behind and took the motorbikes out, keen to soak up as much of this windswept slice of Yorke Peninsula as possible. The roads through the park were made for riding, curving past low scrub, open stretches of coastline, and cliffs that drop dramatically into the sea.
We stopped often, helmets under arms, boots crunching over sandy tracks to check out the key spots. Ethel Beach, with the rusting bones of its shipwreck resting on shore, was both haunting and beautiful. Cape Spencer gave us wide views across Investigator Strait, where the wind tugged at our jackets and the waves crashed below. At West Cape, we stretched our legs on the boardwalk and watched the surf roll in, white and relentless.
There’s something about exploring a park like this by bike — the freedom, the pace, the smell of salt in the air. It was a full day of riding, wandering, and soaking up the beauty of South Australia’s wild coast.
We rode back dusty, windswept, and very happy.
