Pushing through 'the Prom'
This is a top pick! ... I turned my head towards the car. Her baby was reaching for his seatbelt. Fair deal. Wilsons Prom is Australia's southernmost national park, jutting out towards Tasmania from the south east of Melbourne. It's coastline stretches right round ...
Leaving the mainland
This is a top pick! There are two ways you can get from the mainland to Tasmania. Either fly or take the ferry. With ever increasing competition between the domestic airlines, the cost of flying to Tasmania has dropped considerably. It is possible to get a one way flight ...
Yet More Camping
This is a top pick! Managed to sleep better than expected in the tent, even though it rained, and after breakfast we got on the road and off to todays destination. Tried to pay at the booth but there was no one there again so got away with a free nights sleep! Today was ...
Cruising the Great Ocean Road
This is a top pick! Yesterday we took a road trip down the Great Ocean Road. It was absolutely striking! The day started out a little wet and overcast but that didnt stop us. Terry at the wheel and armed with what seemed like thousands of sandwiches, we drove a few hours ...

Attack of the Wombats!
... the ground and were letting us know who is boss in Wilson's Prominatory National Park at the very southern tip of mainland Australia. We laughed pretty hard. Once you lay eyes on these creatures - they are nothing more than fuzzy almost huggable grass ...
Mixed Feelings
This update is sent with mixed feelings, as I am sure most of you know the bush fires here in Victoria are devastating. So many lives and homes have been lost - our thoughts and prayers go out to many people at this time. Wayne and I were in ...

Philip Island
One thing we would say about Philip Island is that the people are the nicest people we have met so far. Very friendly and very helpful. And for some reason they kept giving us discounts on everything we bought. Last night we went to the RSL for dinner ...

East Coast Victoria
This is a top pick! ... hit the road. We had been so thrilled with our last couple of stopovers that we were a little disappointed when we arrived at Tidal River, the Wilsons Promontory National Park Camp ground. With almost 500 sites it is a far cry from the camping and ...
Wilsons Promontory - Most Southerly Point.
Wilsons Promontory is Australia's most southerly point and the third in our quest. This is also a very picturesque spot but in keeping with the Melbourne hype the weather was not particularly ...
Down Under, Down Under!
... was like a deep, lush green carpet and we could see the heat haze rising above it as moisture evaporated from the trees. The Tidal River snaked lazily through to the shore where it opened out over the granite cliffs, and the couple of roads we could see ...
Wilsons Promontory

John and Cathy go to The Prom
... hiked to Pillar Point. As the sun was setting we raised our bowels of wine (didn’t have glasses) and made a toast to Australia as it was her birthday. Perhaps John’s sipping had something to do with the crooked sunset pictures. We woke ...
Wombats galore at Wilsons Prom
... a wallaby and another wombat on top of the outlook point (you can imagine Noble's happiness to see another wombat). Coming back to Tidal River took longer than expected as we saw another three wombats grazing just a few feet away from us. We just couldn't ...
Wilsons Promontory
... subimos ao Monte Bishop (3,7km), o caminho era bastante inclinado mas no topo fomos recompensados com vistas espectaculares sobre a costa e Tidal River. Depois de regressarmos ao parque, atravessámos a estrada e fizémos outra caminhada, desta vez até ...
Walking the National Park
We started off the beautiful day with a nice walk around the mountain with views of Squeaky Beach and onto Pillar Point - it was a very nice walk, took about 40 mins and got to see another furry friend along the way. Had something to eat (with the ...
Most Southern Point in Oz
... Left Port Albert this morning and headed to Wilsons Promontory which is only about 1 and half hours away. We set up camp at the Tidal River camp area and it is the best camping area we have been to yet (and the cheapest) full amenities, hot showers, ...
"Are We There Yet...?!"
... a great pub at the end of it..." said John, to cajole me into doing the 2-day hike to the southernmost tip of mainland Australia. Ok, I'm making that up... the truth of the matter is that I did actually agree, of my own volition, knowing ...
