Starting from the car park on Binneys Track, Penneshaw, this walk explores Baudin Conservation Park via the Ironstone Hill Hike. Located on the eastern end of Kangaroo Island, within Baudin Conservation Park, the Ironstone Hill Hike follows a section of the historic bullock track to Cape Willoughby, originally used by the pioneering Bates family. Interpretive signs along the track explore the life of Harry Bates and his early farming endeavours, revealing some of the area's farming heritage. The track climbs through sheoak woodlands to Ironstone Hill, where the ruins of the Bates' cottage, a stone threshing floor and old farm machinery remain. From the Bates' cottage, there are stunning views across Backstairs Passage to the Fleurieu Peninsula. You can spot dolphins and southern right whales in the waters below from several vantage points along the track. Tammar wallabies, wedge-tailed eagles and rare glossy black cockatoos may also be seen in the park. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
