SEAFOOD, SHIPWRECKS & SORBET

MOONTA BAY, SA

The Yorke Peninsula is a finger of land with Innes National Park at its tip, and looks a bit like Italy’s boot. Seafood is bountiful, surfers head for rugged beaches like Pondalowie and Browns, and shipwrecks lie submerged offshore. Walking is one of the best ways to explore this coastal frontier. Walk the Yorke is a 500-kilometre collection of trails stretching from Port Wakefield to Moonta Bay, a once-booming copper mining town that now lures families with its waterfront Splash Park and homemade Italian gelato. “People will drive from Adelaide for the day just to have a gelato. The sorbets are very popular, too. We have our own orchard, so we can we use our fruit,” says Janette Martino from the Coffee Barn & Gelateria in Moonta. moontaprogress.org.au 93
