Join us to
explore one of Australia’s most outstanding National Parks,
Wilson’s Promontory. “The Prom”, so called by its many
admirers, is the most southerly point of mainland Australia. The park
encompasses magnificent coastal and mountain scenery.
Over 700 species of
native plants exist, providing a perfect habitat for the prolific wildlife.
Kangaroos, koalas and wombats are just a few of the many native inhabitants.
Emus, rosellas, kookaburras and cockatoos can be seen almost everywhere.
The only way to
experience the Prom is on foot. Our walk highlights some of the park’s
most beautiful areas. We pass through a variety of vegetation from bush to
luxuriant, moist fern gullies. These harbour magnificent white sandy beaches,
washed by spectacular rolling surf.
Our Hotels & Cuisine
On our first day
we stop near Phillip Island and discover the newly established George Bass
Coastal Walk near Kilkunda. Our 2nd day is spent at Wilson’s Prom NP
where we walk to Pillar Point, Squeaky Beach, Picnic Beach and Lilly Pilly
Gulley.
Day 3 we discover the secluded Cape Liptrap Coastal Park not far from
where we are staying. Day 4 we venture back into The Prom and walk out to
spectacular Tongue Point. On our final day we have a leisurely start before
driving to Lyre Bird Hill Winery for our final celebratory lunch.
The countryside
surrounding Wilson’s promontory is home to rich farmlands which produce
Australia’s best dairy products, fine meats, poultry and crisp
vegetables.
The area is also noted for several excellent vineyards and a
boutique brewery. Our accommodation is in a delightful Guesthouse overlooking
Wilson’s Promontory with sweeping views of Waratah Bay just a few
km’s away.
In the evening relax on the terrace as we watch the sun set
over this magnificent vista and then enjoy a delicious 4 course dinner prepared
by Paula and her team.
