Wilsons Prom
One of the most popular destinations in Victoria, Wilsons Promontory National Park sits at the southernmost tip of the Australian mainland, offering visitors stunning scenery and wildlife. The 50,000 hectare national park features magnificent and secluded beaches, cool fern gullies, great views, spectacular rock formations and an abundance of wildlife. From the moment you enter the park, the native wildlife is never far away. See kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, emus, dazzling crimson rosellas and wedge-tailed eagles or try your luck at spotting one of the more than 40 rare or threatened species, including the long-nosed potoroo, eastern pygmy-possum, orange-bellied parrot and New Holland mouse. There are plenty of scenic drives at the Prom, but the best way to enjoy the landscape is on one of the many walking trails throughout the peninsula. Walkers will find more than 30 walks over 130 kilometres of tracks to choose from, with most leading to a range of secluded beaches, coves and lookouts. The walk to the summit of Mt Oberon provides unsurpassed views of the Prom and its rugged coastline. Other short walks take you to Squeaky Beach, Picnic Bay and Whisky Bay, while longer walks can be made to Cotters Beach and Vereker Lookout. Other popular activities at the Prom include swimming, diving and fishing. Tidal River, 30 kilometres from the park entrance, has most facilities, including a Visitor Centre and general store. There's a range of accommodation, from campsites and cabins friendly B&Bs and farmstays.
