Inneston Historic Walk

Highlights

Step back in time at Inneston Historic Walk and explore the ruins of a once-bustling mining town from the early 1900s! This 4-kilometre return trail is perfect for history buffs and adventurers. Along the way, you’ll learn about life in Inneston village, where people lived, worked, and even played tennis. Imagine what it was like back then as you stroll past the ruins of schools, bakeries, and post offices!

For an extra special visit, stay in one of the restored heritage cottages. Wake up to kangaroos and emus right outside your door—it’s like stepping into a history book!
