Upgrades to Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park

Gulawul­gawi Ngun­da Nhagu – Cape Spencer Lookout

Con­struc­tion of the new Gulawul­gawi Ngun­da Nhagu – Cape Spencer Look­out is now com­plete and open for vis­i­tors to enjoy.

Locat­ed on the south­ern edge of the park, the new look­out offers unri­valled views of the sweep­ing coast­line below.

It boasts 360-degree views of the South­ern Yorke Penin­su­la, has mul­ti­ple view­ing plat­forms and inter­pre­ta­tive sig­nage along the way.

Work at this site also includ­ed the con­struc­tion of a sealed, two-way access road, a new car park for up to 25 vehi­cles, an acces­si­ble and pram-friend­ly path from the car park to the look­out, and oth­er minor infra­struc­ture and sig­nage updates.

Works at Sten­house Bay

Sten­house Bay, at the entry to the park, is home to the her­itage-list­ed jet­ty and is pop­u­lar for fish­ing and diving.

Facil­i­ties at the day-vis­i­tor area will be boost­ed with the con­struc­tion of a new pic­nic shel­ter, instal­la­tion of a new bar­beque and pic­nic tables, con­struc­tion of stone fenc­ing and a major upgrade to the car park to accom­mo­date approx­i­mate­ly 17 vehicles.

The large Sten­house Bay Camp­ground, which ser­vices vis­i­tors in tents, car­a­vans, camper­vans and camper trail­ers, will have 2 new toi­let blocks con­struct­ed, 2 new bar­be­ques installed, and upgrad­ed camp­ing areas.

While works are under­way, the Sten­house Bay jet­ty and near­by walk­ing trails will still be acces­si­ble on most days, how­ev­er car park­ing may be lim­it­ed and the site may need to be closed com­plete­ly on some days dur­ing con­struc­tion to man­age vis­i­tor safety.

Vis­i­tors who have booked to stay at Sten­house Bay Camp­ground dur­ing the con­struc­tion peri­od will be con­tact­ed soon about whether their stay will be impact­ed, as some book­ings will still be able to be hon­oured with min­i­mal disruption.
