Wilson's Promontory

What the?: Easter weekend trip to Wilson's Promontory, nature park.
Where: Sounthern most tip of Victoria.
When: March 2008



One of the "long weekends" in Australia is the easter holiday weekend. So the gang planned a trip to a nature park called Wilson's Promontory (meaning a piece of land that juts out to the sea). Time to put on the "Chindianna Jones" hat and head outdoors!


Its about 2 hour drive out of Melbourne, heading south towards Gippsland in Victoria. Had a weekend full of kangaroos and wombats. Also, the very tiring hikes along the nature trails in the park! Thanks gang! Honestly the landscape got pretty repetitive after a while, but there were some really nice views of the sea. Highly recommended as an introduction to the outback! Tip: you might want to rent a SUV to tackle the many unsealed roads around the park.
