this morning we made the 200km trip to wilsons promontory. started off, after a macdonald breakfast, at around 8.00 a.m. and reached the park entrance to wilsons prom at 10.30 a.m., travelling the m1, a420, a440 and joining the c444 at meeniyan.
wilsons promontory or 'the prom' as it is affectionately known to victorians, is the southernmost tip of the australian mainland. from sun-drenched summer beaches to secluded winter walks among the rainforest, the prom is a park for all people during all seasons.
to give you an idea of the size of this protected national park, you have to travel about 30km to get from the park entrance to the visitor's centre at tidal river. its 130 km coastline is framed by granite headlands, mountains, forests and fern gullies.
walking, camping, swimming, fishing, snorkelling, scuba diving, photography, nature study and simply relaxing are among the many things to do at this beautiful park.
we first went for walk on squeaky beach. the rounded grains of quartz on squeaky beach make a 'squeak' when rubbed together. this happens when you walk on the dry sand. we also explored the tidal river a bit before we set out for our 3.4km mount oberon summit walk.
