Proclamation Trail
The Proclamation Trail is a three and a half kilometre self-guided trail through Glenelg, starting at the Town Hall. Suitable for pedestrians and cyclists, the trail features 8 sites significant to the cultural heritage of Holdfast Bay.
You can see the site known as the first landing of the first settlers in 1836 on the foreshore, later to become the location of shark-proof baths for men in the early 1900s and now adjacent to Holdfast Shores. Further along the trail, cross the weir and lock at the mouth of the Patawalonga creek and stop at North Esplanade where the sandhills and houses that replaced them after World War Two endured many storms and even a hurricane. You then cross the Pat and see the replica of the Buffalo and the area once used as a gathering place for Aboriginal people up until 1899, Patawilya Reserve.
The trail also takes you to the Old Gum Tree and through the streets of the original township of Glenelg and finishes in Colley Reserve, which over the years has been the site of amusement centres, fun parks, concerts and the famous Bay Sheffield foot race.
