Information

This hike follows the coast east of Penneshaw along a section of the
original bullock track to Cape Willoughby and provides spectacular views
across Backstairs Passage to the Fleurieu Peninsula. After climbing through
regenerating sheoak vegetation, the hike leads to the ruins of Harry Bates’
cottage and a stone threshing floor on Ironstone Hill. The farming heritage
of the area is interpreted on signs along the hike.
Access: Follow Frenchmans Terrace along the foreshore at Penneshaw
to the car park at the start of Binneys Track.
