WILSONS PROMONTORY

Wilsons Promontory National Park www.parkweb.vic.gov.au (Wilsons Prom) in South Gippsland, is a favourite Victorian national park only 200km south east of Melbourne. It has rugged granite hills and idyllic, unspoilt bays with white sandy beaches, marshland and sand dunes, all with prolific plant, bird and animal life.

The main centre is Tidal River, where the sealed road stops and where there are camping and caravan pitches and also permanent lodges and flats. From here onwards, access is by track and rough camping spots with rudimentary facilities include Oberon Bay, Roaring Meg, Waterloo Bay, Refuge Cove, Sealers Cove and Tin Mine Cove.

During the busy Christmas-summer season, camping sites and cabins may all be full so phone the Ranger first.

PHILLIP ISLAND

Phillip Island is an easy day trip from Melbourne and the place where you can see the return of the fairy penguins each evening. See also Phillip Island, South Gippsland ...
