Le parc national du promontoire de Wilson, couramment connu sous le nom de Wilsons Prom ou The Prom, est un parc national du Gippsland, une région de l'état de Victoria, en Australie, 157 km au sud-est de Melbourne.
C'est le parc national le plus méridional d'Australie, connu pour ses magnifiques forêts pluviales, ses plages et sa vie sauvage abondante.
Il couvre la partie sud du promontoire de Wilson, une péninsule où se situe le point le plus au sud du continent australien.
Une grande partie du parc brûla en avril 2005 lors d'un feu de broussaille causé par un feu contrôlé, causant l'évacuation de 600 personnes.
Le parc est bien connu des randonneurs et des campeurs, et dispose d'une aire de camping près de l'embouchure de la Tidal River (Victoria) (en).
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.
Wilson’s Prom (Victoria) such a beautiful part of Australia every time I go there I experience something different each time, the birds, animals & scenery is just beautiful
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.
What a beautiful part of Victoria we stayed 2 nights at Tidal River Camp hot showers amenities nice so much birdlife and Wombats great experience it's a definite I'd go back there.
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.
