TREASURES OF AUSTRALIA
GUIDED WALKING HOLIDAYS IN Wilson's Promontory National Park, Victoria
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.
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 Gully.
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.
