Wilson's Promontory National Park

We set off from Melbourne on Saturday 4th April and were glad to be back on the road after two months living in the city. We headed straight for Wilson's Promontory; a beautiful coastal national park south-east of Melbourne. We arrived mid-afternoon and went for a great walk from Tidal River over the headland to Squeaky Beach. The views were magnificent and the waves crashing over the rocks were an awesome sight.

Even after five weeks of bush fires there was an abundance of wildlife. We saw countless parrots and parakeets, as well as wombats, wallabies and possums. It was great to be back in naturally beautiful places again.

The next day we woke up on the beach-side campsite and headed straight for the surf. The water was crystal blue and very inviting. However, the conditions were a bit messy so we only spent 45mins in the water before getting back on the road and making the long trip towards Canberra.
