Wilsons Promontory National Park

The Wilsons Promontory National Park, commonly known as Wilsons Prom or The Prom, is a national park in the Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia, located approximately 157 kilometres (98 mi) southeast of Melbourne.
The 50,500-hectare (125,000-acre) national park is the southernmost national park on mainland Australia, known for its rainforests, beaches and abundant wildlife. The national park covers the southern portion of Wilsons Promontory, a peninsula containing South Point, the southernmost point on the Australian mainland. A lighthouse on the south-east corner of the peninsula is the southernmost lighthouse on mainland Australia and has operated continuously since 1859.
The Park is highly popular with bushwalkers and campers, and has a number of lodges and serviced camping areas at a camping area near the mouth of Tidal River.

    Definitely the best park in Victoria for me! Third time here but my first ever multi day hike. I did the Easter circuit, starting in telegraph saddle to Refuge cove. Was a tough hike with my pack but stunning views. Refuge cove was a campsite right along the beach and it was wonderful to hear the waves at night. Then it was off to Little Waterloo Bay. Saw a huge sky full of stars and a bright yellow and orange sunrise in the morning. Last day was a very uphill hike back to the car. Highly recommend!

  • Hands down the best National park in Victoria. This area has it all, from beautiful beaches to stunning views on top of Mount Oberon. There is plenty of wildlife including kangaroos, wombats, echidnas and a whole range of bird wildlife. The walks are unbelievable and there's so many spectacular beaches to choose from. Hiking in Wilsons Prom is an absolute must!

  • Wilsons Prom is beautiful and entry is free. We just visited for the afternoon- drove to Whiskey Bay and did a short walk along the beach and walked over to Picnic Bay. Next we headed to Squeaky Beach for another short walk. There are lots of places to stop and go for walks, and a variety of walks marked. The hills and the colour of the sea and the vegetation are all stunning. We even saw some wallabies on the side of the road on the way out.

  • Really pristine something hopefully it can maintain. Lot of the tracks they could make it drive able but it's blocked off. If you manage the ability to get around this place the more likely it will stay the paradise it is. Even if that means walking 20 plus ks. Definitely be back.

    Wonderful place to visit! Beautiful small country towns, amazing beaches that stretch for kms. We went before Christmas school holidays and the beaches were virtually empty on warm days! Food is fresh and locals friendly. Visit small town of Fish Creek, home to renowned Aussie children's author Alison Lester. There's her shop there :)

  • The landscape is beautiful and the walks are worth it for the view from high up! Despite the weather being cloudy, it was still stunning. Just make sure to fill your fuel tank up full before entering since this national park is huge and you wouldn't want to be worrying over your fuel.
