Wilson Promontory National Park

One of my favorite National Park of Victoria is Wilson Prom. It is at the bottom of the Australian continent, the southern most point one can go on the mainland. The sea looking out from here is Bass Straits towards Tasmania.
















Satellite view & park's boundary to an area of 49,000 ha!





















Tidal River is just a short walk from the Visitor Center.















Across Tidal River, walking trials lead to hill tops offering magnificent views of the coastlines.





















































The park offers many walking trails with different levels of difficulty. Hiking to the light house is pretty arduous.. 6hrs one way.










































The views are rewarding.
















Rodondo Island is aprox. 16km to the south of the Prom.





















There are many wild life within the park of course!
