overview

From the wild coast of Wilsons Prom to the forests of Tarra-Bulga

Explore the changing landscapes of South Gippsland on a six-day walking journey from the rugged coast of Wilsons Promontory to the fern-filled forests of Tarra-Bulga National Park. Walk beside rolling surf and across white sand at Whisky Bay and Squeaky Beach, take in the coastal views from Cape Liptrap and Tongue Point, then head inland to cool, shaded gullies beneath towering mountain ash and ancient myrtle beech.

Along the way, discover the wildlife and local character of the region, visit the Clarke family farm for an afternoon stroll and tea, and finish with lunch at Gurneys Cidery before returning to Melbourne. Each evening, settle into Bear Gully Coastal Cottages above Waratah Bay, with the sea and the Prom in view.

journey highlights

Wilsons Promontory National Park

Explore “The Prom,” where rugged mountains meet the coast. Visit secluded bays, sweeping beaches and coastal headlands, with time to appreciate the park’s remarkable variety of landscapes and wildlife.

Cape Liptrap & Waratah Bay

Follow the coast from South Walkerville towards Waratah Bay through the quieter landscapes of Cape Liptrap Coastal Park. Take in open sea views and the changing character of South Gippsland’s shoreline.

Tarra-Bulga’s Rainforest

Step into the cool, fern-lined gullies of Tarra-Bulga National Park. Walk beneath giant tree ferns and mountain ash, among ancient myrtle beech in the Strzelecki Ranges.

Whisky Bay & Squeaky Beach

Walk beside the rolling surf at two of the Prom’s best-known beaches. Their white sand, clear water and striking coastal setting capture the wild beauty of this southern peninsula.

Tongue Point & Fairy Cove

Return to the Prom for dramatic headland views at Tongue Point and the secluded beauty of Fairy Cove. These coastal walks reveal another side of the park’s varied shoreline.

Bear Gully & Waratah Bay

Stay at Bear Gully Coastal Cottages, with views across Waratah Bay to Wilsons Promontory and Bass Strait. The beach is a short stroll away, and the quiet coastal setting is home to local birdlife and, at times, koalas and wombats.
