Comfort Inn Foster

After two days of travelling, where the only highlight was me finally getting a hair cut we landed at Wilson's Prom. The most southerenly point in Australia and National Park. On the way we spotted two wild echindnas, both nearly getting squashed on the raod.

We did the walk from Tidal River to Squeaky Beach, spotting a wallaby on the way ...

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 birds, again) and then headed off to walk to the top of Mount Oberon. The brochure told us that it was a "3.4km, 1 hour walk - moderate/hard" and we will "feel the ...

... of Victoria so we continued to drive until we thought it best to stop (dont stress everyone, it was before dark and we shared the driving - and lets face it - the Kombi doesnt go that fast!) John decided to pick our resting destination and it was Port Albert - the oldest Port in Victoria. Unfortunately it didnt have a caravan park on the water so we went back inland only 10 minutes to the nearest ...

Nach dem Frühstück brechen wir auf Richtung Osten. Wir wollen zum Ninety Mile Beach, einem145 km langen Sandstrand, der die Gippsland Lakes vom Meer trennt. Über Yarram und Seaspray fahren wir nach Golden Beach. Man hat von vielen Stellen aus einen guten Blick auf den Strand, aber das einzig Besondere an diesem Strand ist wohl seine Länge. Kein ungewöhnlich schöner Sand, ein paar B ...

... isto é mesmo o nome de um sítio!) e fomos fazer umas caminhadas pela zona à volta. Primeiro 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 Pillar Point (cerca de 5km), pelo caminho tivémos subir um monte, o que não foi fácil debaixo do sol do principio da ...

... Eagles here than the condors in Peru.. Anyway continued on the road towards Tidal River and just before we came across a signpost and a small road for  'Squeaky beach' and decided to turn off and check it out. Beautiful beach (wait to you see the photos) and on top of that when you walked around it would squeak under your feet (got a video of this as well). Got back tot he car as dusk was well on its way and the car didnt start. Now the car didnt start before in Melbourne for ...

... walkers, nature lovers and surfers. To get in at peak times you need to enter the lottery for tickets a year in advance. Luckily for us, low season meant few other visitors, although the sun was shining bright for our time there. Getting there at noon, we set up in the main campsite, and proceeded to have lunch, as is normal. Seconds after getting the food out, we were attacked by killer Rosellas. These stunningly attractive Parrots ...

June 6-9 was Queens Birthday weekend in Oz, so Erik and I went to Wilsons Promonotory with our friend Greg. We slept 2 nights at the YHA in Foster. A short drive from Foster is the Wilsons Prom national park. We saw half a dozen wombats, two emus, a lovely fox who was chewing on a kangaroo carcass (he was very tame ...

We came to Wilson's Promontory on the advice of a work colleague (who we've since learnt uses a pseudonym in the UK - spooky) and weren't disappointed. It's the southern-most point of mainland Australia and is mostly a national park, home to lots of birds and other animals. Not that we saw much the first afternoon - a rabbit (dead) and a feral cat - probably not a co-incidence as they were next to each other (not that the ...
