Wilsons Promontory National Park Travel Guide

 TarjaH Says:  Millers Landing Nature Walk is also short and easy walk but you can see different kind of nature than on Tidal River’s surroundings. During the walk I saw many kangaroos resting under trees, black swans and mangroves which by the way are most southern mangroves in the... 

 TarjaH Says:  When I came to the beach I tried to find birds which are chippering. After a while I realized that noises are coming from quartz sand while I’m walking on it. Surfers are using this beach.Squeaky Beach’s parking lot is located along Wilsons Promontory Road little bit before... 

 TarjaH Says:  Loo-Errn track is located next to the Tidal River camping site. Ground of the track is wooden so you can do the walk also with wheelchair. Even if walk is only one kilometer long, Tidal River offers great surroundings just to relax and fell the nature.I by myself saw fishes... 

 iandsmith Says:  One of the other things that people clamour to do is walk Squeaky Beach, or surf it or fish it. It certainy is one of Australia's classic beaches and I, for one, can but agree with the rest.Here is a selection of shots from my third visit there. 

 iandsmith Says:  Mount Bishop, a granite outcrop seen in all bar one of these pictures, is something of a forgotten prominence in the park yet it looms large behind Squeaky Beach and the big bald patch smacks you in the eye when you first approach the park down the main road.You round a... 

 iandsmith Says:  Yes, lots of it, especially in spring when the gum tips compete with flowers for the brightest display.People from overseas are often surprised that Australian native flowers are generally so small compared to their home country. Indeed, it's the fact that there's a lot of... 

 iandsmith Says:  There's three things that most people do when they go to Wilsons Promontory and one of those is to scale the heights of Mount Oberon.Its brooding presence sits over the campsite at Tidal River and taunts you to come to the top yet it was my third trip there before I managed... 

 OZebomate Says:  The worst thing abou camping here is the ants, look on the ground and you will see at least 10 in the metre square around you..................... The main ones are what victorians call jumping jacks a little clack ant with bright red nippers. They are very aggressive and... 

 iandsmith Says:  If the ocean was awe inspiring, some of the cloud patterns weren't far behind. Cirrus formations started to drift in, and cirrus somehow always manages to be a bit special. At first wispy, then more all encompassing, they make for enchanting art in the sky, don't you... 

 iandsmith Says:  I wasn't sure how to categorize this photo, animal or beach.An echidna on the beach. Not an ant in sight. What was this all about? I feared he (or she, I wasn't going to check) may be unwell, so far removed from the bush.I took the photo and continued on. It had moved freely... 

 iandsmith Says:  All the time as I neared my destination, I couldn't help but think how stunning the azure ocean was on this balmy day. The spring flowers and the red rocks (pic 4), the dramatic hills behind (pic 3) with charred remnants of the previous year's bushfire and the contrast of... 

 iandsmith Says:  This gives you some idea of what the walk around to Little Oberon was like, from the exquisite colours of the ocean, to the remnants of bushfires (pic 4) to the granite that underlies all this area (pic 2).The special view back to little Mount Oberon (pic 3) and the classic... 

 iandsmith Says:  In Australia, beaches are used for lots of things so I am rarely surprised these days when I stroll along the sand.This windsurfing chute was giving its owner a couple of nice jumps as he practised on the sands of Norman Bay the morning I walked to Little Oberon Beach. 

 iandsmith Says:  Australia generally doesn't have large flowers. In the springtime in the bush it's like someone sprinkled the salt all over the table, only it's in colours.Yellow and blue predominate in this area, particularly your basic daisies for the former but the latter involves many... 

 ATXtraveler Says:  One of the things that we loved about our trip to the Prom was really the lack of other people. Although the sights and sounds of children playing on the beach, or laughing out in the waves is nice... also being the only one around for kilometers is also a great...
