Welcome to the beautiful town of Penneshaw perched on the Dudley Peninsula overlooking Backstairs Passage. Explore the fascinating history, engaging stories, meet locals, discover the power of glaciers, enjoy fantastic Kangaroo Island food and beverages, connect with our pioneers, swim in beautiful blue water, learn about our brave Aboriginal women, and meet our amazing wildlife.
All this in a walk in two parts. The first walk section heads east to Baudin Conservation Park, a 3.5 km return walk with the optional extension of continuing on the more challenging Ironstone Hill Hike. The second section is an undulating 5 km return walk that heads up to the old cemetery. Both sections of the walk provide spectacular views of the beach, bays and mainland Australia.
