Wilsons Prom is heaven on a stick. It makes your heart sing and your soul fly. Whenever I need comfort I close my eyes and transport myself to Norman Bay - I am home and at peace.

Wilsons Prom is truly an amazing place to visit and stay. It’s pristine beaches and squeaky clean sand offer the perfect place for people to explore with their friends and families. There are lots of fantastic things to do at Wilson’s Prom. Whatever you like from bird watching, nature walks and hikes, swimming, relaxing and making new friends. For fishing enthusiasts, the Prom is the place to be to land your best catch! Book in early if you wish to staff because lots of people have discovered the natural beauty of the Prom and it is very popular. For a place to get away, the Prom is number 1.

This amazing place is one that I love to share with friends and visitors to Melbourne or Australia. The bush walks, the beach and the tranquility of the Prom make it truly a little piece of heaven here on earth.

‘The Prom’ is a truly magical place. The mystery dates back for as long as Indigenous people walked along its beautiful beaches, over mountains diverse with vegetation and through misty gullies full of tree ferns and pristine streams. All these experiences are in the wilderness but only 2 hours from Melbourne and so totally accessible to anyone who can walk. This is a truly fantastic destination for all seasons.

Breathtaking scenery, pristine beaches and amazing wildlife, and all so close to Melbourne. What more could you ask for?

A truly amazing place where you can enjoy the beach, the scenery, the walks, the peace. The kids will love it and where else can you get visited by wombats, koalas, possums and all types of wildlife while you relax by your van at night.

Fantastic memories date back to a school camp there over 37 years ago.. revisited many years later and the beaches are still beautiful, scenery magnificent, walks are invigorating, beautiful accomodation choices, better than the bunkhouse of all those years ago. It has now become a favourite place for my children - 29,27,16,14 who all enjoy swimming, fishing and walking. We love it and plan to return as soon as we can.

You haven’t lived until you have experienced ‘The Prom’ . Do make a special trip to visit ’squeaky beach’ as both kids and the young at heart will love it.

My children are tasked with climbing Mt. Oberon and casting my ashes to the winds. I am certainly not hurrying to leave just yet and intend many more climbs over the next 30 or so years to marvel at that specatacular view.

170 Andrew Schram

Jul 6th, 2008 at 8:42 am

The Prom is full of memories for me of great walks, scenery, fishing, beaches, friends and rates highly for me as an escape place. We can relax there knowing civilization is awaiting us still back in Melbourne

To catch glimpses of the sea as you round the bends and witness the the change in the Twelve Apostles is to wonder at the beauty and magnificence of the power of nature.

My kids say “awesome” when they’re allowed a late night, a lolly or I fill in a form for them - I tried to explain the true meaning of the word and found my definition here at Wilson’s Prom

167 Jon Abbott

Jul 3rd, 2008 at 9:06 pm

The Prom is probably Victoria’s most spectacular and pristine outdoor area. Whether you are into walking, scenery, beaches, wildlife, flora or just relaxing with friends the Prom has it all. We love the walks from the car park at Telegraph Saddle to Waterloo Bay or Sealer’s Cove. Both are easily managed in one day but also make terrific overnight expeditions. The beaches on the eastern side of the Prom are simply stunning. For those who enjoy walking but are not up to the longer distances there is an abundance of wonderful short walks beginning at Tidal River. With all of this within a two and a half hour drive of Melbourne what more could you ask for.

166 Brett

Jul 3rd, 2008 at 12:14 pm

Great place, for a family outing be it one day or one week, the untouched beauty is some of the best in the state.

Shortly after migrating to Australia from France we visited Wilson’s Promontory 35 years ago and loved the natural and wild beauty of the aera so much that we return there at every opportunity and decide to seachange-retire in Foster near Wilson’s promontory in 1999 a very good move indeed.

I first went to Wilsons Prom as a seven year old girl and returned there for may years with my family- every year we would get to finish up school early for our trip! I still love to go back there now.
Being a National Park It is still just as beautiful and peaceful as it was when i first went there
forty years ago.! It is a very special place for me and climbing of Mt. Oberon makes me feel on top of the world!

163 Andrew

Jul 1st, 2008 at 5:04 pm

Wilsons Prom is a wondrous, magical place! I went there as a kid every Easter for about ten years and the memories are some of the best of my life.
Living in NSW now, we don’t get down to the Prom as often as we’d like, unfortunately! It is the best place in the world in my opinion….

I went with a group of freinds many years ago, (21!!!), and just adored the natural environment, clean air and rugged beauty of the place! Haven’t been back since then, but would love to take my 10yr old boy now - I’m sure he’d love it, too!

160 Jeanne

Jun 29th, 2008 at 2:59 pm

As my (then) 3 year old granddaughter said when she saw The Prom looking across Corner Inlet from Hoddle “look Nanna , there’s those hills that make you feel happy !!”

We’ve visited the Prom many times in the past and always had an amazing time. The Prom is full of wildlife, beautiful beaches, spectacular views - a magical place for all ages. We are yet to take our young children there, but hope to make an adventure of it this year when we take them camping. So natural, hardly touched and a place for making memories.

158 robert salomons

157 Deborah

Jun 26th, 2008 at 12:23 pm

The Prom. Beauty. Variety. Like going home. So many memories. A place to be yourself. A place to find yourself.

When I meet someone who doesn’t know what I mean when I say I live near ‘The Prom’ or has not heard of Wilsons Prom, I am amazed, because it seems that I can meet people from all over Australia and most people do not only know of it but also have great memories of their visit/s. I have a shop in Foster and I am intrigued by the international visitors who know so much more about this special place than some locals!

If you haven’t been, come and do plan to do more than amble around Tidal River!

156 Laura Duarte

Jun 25th, 2008 at 4:32 pm

Wilson’s Promo is the most beautiful place in Victoria. I have been there four times during my 6 years living in Australia and always as the first time its beauty surprises me.
My mother come to visit me last summer after won a battle against cancer. We went to Wilson’s Prom and she was so amaze with the magnificence of the place, when we were there she did not stop thanking God to be healed and have the opportunity to see this magical place.

One stop holiday experience all year round for all our family. Beach, bush, activity or relaxation. We had our honeymoon here more than 20 years ago, and we try to have at least one visit every year with our children. It’s magic!

153 Leanne V

Jun 25th, 2008 at 8:16 am

My husband and I took our 6 year old son to Wilson Promontory for the first time late last year. It was a wonderful experience for all of us. We took an hour walk along a bush track and encountered two wallabies walking the track behind us. It was a highlight of our trip. The beaches are also beautiful - took many great photos. We would recommend Wilsons Promontory to anyone.

Wilsons Prom is so peaceful and very energising for the body, mind and soul. There are cabins to stay in and it is safe to camp. the beach’s are spectacular to view, with white soft sand, a tranquil sea and the bush walks are awesome. It is an experience not to be missed and well worth the drive out which in itself is a wonderful journey!

142 Cathy Longmore

Jun 16th, 2008 at 10:47 pm

Tidal River is fantastic for relaxing and just camping in a laid back casual atmosphere (beautiful!) and the southern end of the Prom has a fantastic overnight hiking route. Had my first overnight hike (3 nights) there, and I can’t wait to go back for more…. found the loveliest secluded beaches, a pristine environment, great views, a great time!

141 Nicky Best

Jun 14th, 2008 at 6:15 pm

Inspirational National Park. I always marvel at the beauty of The Prom. I was lucky enough to grow up on a farm with uninterrupted views of The Prom and never tired of it. I cherish all the memories of my visits and look forward to sharing it with friends and family on future journeys.

140 Ruth Caple

Jun 12th, 2008 at 3:33 pm

Pristine beaches, a variety of coastal scenery, native plants, damp fern gullies… all within a short walk of each other. Lets hope the developers never get their hands on this paradise. I have been visiting for 56 years and am glad to be able to say that progress has been mercifully absent.

Wilsons Prom is the most amazing place to get away from the stresses of the world and relax in one of the most beautiful untouched places on earth. You can choose your own adventure by camping and hiking to staying in 5 star luxurious cabins all surrounded by an abundance of native vegetation and wildlife.

Sealers Cove is one of Victoria’s true gems. The fact that you have to walk there makes it even more special. If you want to experience the best of Victoria’s natural attractions, put on your walking shoes today!

Wisons Prom is a must see! Squeaky beach: where everytime you walk all you can hear is the sqeaky sound of sand against your bare feet, Tidal river: where the water is a supurb temperature and you can see the little winding river joining the enourmous ocean and Lilly Pilly Gully: where you can hike through some of the most magnificent scenery you have ever seen! The animals wander around sharing their habitat with you, the rangers are more than willing to share all Wilsons Prom’s history with you and with what you can see from the amount of lookouts surrounding this glorious “piece of heaven” it is sometihng not to be missed by anyone! A brilliant experience for all that is for sure!

It is a holiday destination that we regularly go to over the last 30 years it has great walks quietness native life and great surf beach . our children have now grown up and have travel around different destinations both in australia and overseas and they also believe it is the best place to visit. they live interstate and overseas and both have brought their partners back to victoria and have taken them to the prom it is the one true place where you are able to relax and unwind and enjoy the beauty of nature

127 Indah Kristianawati

Jun 6th, 2008 at 10:11 am

It is such a beautiful scenery, blissful and perfect place for everybody who needs a proper rest and retreat. There are hundred things you could do - from swimming, camping, biking, fishing, bush walking or just do nothing.
My highlight was the Squeaky Beach - the sand was so clean, white and soft and it does make a sqeaky noise! I also love the bush walking trip to the top/point - the view was so breath taking and I reckon I got some of the best shot when we watch the sunset there…The kids love the part when they could see some wombat and kangaroo in front of their nose - so unreal! The beach is one of the best - very clean and naturally ‘untouched’ - I stay there all day and do nothing else than watching and listening to the waves. I think they also have such beautiful clear and very blue sky - you could get the best picture even with the crappy camera.

Wilsons Prom is such a beautiful pristine peaceful place such a contrast from busy city living. A place where you can go and loose yourself for a weekend or longer. Its wild beauty stays in my memory and provides a calming image when I need to think of nicer things.Some wonderful family holdiays had at Wilsons Prom.

111 Iain

May 20th, 2008 at 8:33 pm

The Prom is the absolute jewel in Victoria’s crown. I have hiked overnight and camped many times, just amazing! Sealers Cove is the one of the most perfect beaches I have ever set foot upon, can only get to see it by hiking in, really worth the walk and even better to camp overnight. Spectacular…

110 Christopher Rowe

A great place to relax and smell the eucalypts if you are so inclined or be more active depending on the time of year walking hiking swimming or surfing. Views are great and the flora and fauna are unbelievable

107 Darren

May 20th, 2008 at 3:56 pm

The beaches you visit during all of the many and varied hikes are world class and absolutley breath taking. There are so many different landscapes you traverse on even a 10km hike, the wild life is amazing and it is great for kids……The only downside is that it is so popular it is hard to get a spot during peak times, even hiking!

106 Sue Prince

May 20th, 2008 at 2:45 pm

I did the walk to the light house last year , it was hard but well worth the effort.

We stayed at the light house overnight and the view in the morning was awesome. What a sunrise.

I would recommend this walk to anyone (fit enough to do it).

Wilson’s Prom is a beauty. Quiet and relaxing, not to mention all those cute Australian natives. The beaches are clean. I like the idea of the salt and fresh water intertwined.

Wilson’s Prom is beautiful and the beaches are pristine. If your looking for a place to relax it’s the best place to go. People who love nature and the great outdoors need only go.

Great walks/hikes for all levels. amazing views, lots of wildlife in close proximity and great fauna. not too far from the city either so a little piece of paridise not far from home dont forget your wetsuit though, the water can be very cold!

I have lived in Victoria all my life. After travelling over 60,000 odd kms around our magnificent country, I reckon we have some of the best scenery, beaches and parks in Australia….AND it’s all here in our backyard. Wilson’s Prom is a fabulous place to explore, take the time to visit and experience nature at it’s best!

96 Jackie Tritt

May 19th, 2008 at 3:42 pm

The Prom is a wonderful place to take overseas visitors for a glimpse of the real Australia. Driving across the flats, where kangaroos and emus graze, takes their breath away. The stunning views of pure white beaches creamed by emerald seas, and of huge lichen encrusted boulders are great subjects for the photographers. There’s safe swimming for kids at Tidal River and good surf for beginners on the main beaches. There’s the magic of Lillypilly Gully, with the creek gurgling under the tree ferns, the scent of gums on bush walks, the joy of watching a wombat amble down the paths. The Prom restores the spirit.

95 Nancy

May 19th, 2008 at 10:49 am

Spectacular scenery of mountains, beaches, rivers, with amazing walks, a lighthouse, fauna, and an abundance of wildlife. I don’t know how anyone could not love the Prom. A truly magical place that inspires the imagination and calms the soul.

Wilsons Prom captures everything that is beautiful about Australia, fauna, flora, gorgeous beaches, walks dense forests.

The Prom is the place to reconnect with mother earth. The fresh air, the river so slow and relaxing, the beaches wild and windy one day, hot and smooth the next.
The parrots and kookaburras calling and the wombats raiding neglected food supplies. Camping without electricity the ultimate experience in relaxation, reconnecting with family and re-establishing the reality of our relationship with nature.

Environmental diversity. Beauty of flora and Fauna and unexpected surprises around each corner. Well serviced at tidal river but wonderfully remote on the outskirts. Easily accessible from Melbourne for a short or longer visit. Great Parks service.

Australian nature at its best. Rugged and untouched. Excellent facilities without spoiling the walks. Only downside is the cafe. Only fried foods, no salads or sandwiches. Admittedly we were there in Autumn (last weekend) but still lacking.

Nature at it wildest and yet in all it’s beauty wrapped up in a package of accomodation from camping to luxury units. Close to Melbourne, something for all the family, from overnight hikes to making sand castles on the beach at Tidal River. I remember when the road to Tidal River was gravel into the park and even then it was worth the drive. Now it is a pleasant drive on a sealed road and all modes of transport are permitted. There would be few Parks to rival Wilson’s Promontory for all its majesty in a neat affordable holiday package. Keep the Prom away from the hand of the big developers and in its pristine condition.

The Prom has beautiful coastal and mountain scenery. In sunshine we enjoy the brilliant turqoise ocean and pristine white beaches dotted with enormous rounded granite boulders. Sometimes we have brooding skies, rain and wind howking through the sheokes. Whatever the weather we enjoy fabulous bush walks, great surfing and an abundance of wildlife at dusk, with the wombats wandering amongst the tents. The Prom is a place for all - the Loo Ern walk and beach wheelchairs for folk with disabilities, school campsites, the safety of Tidal River for the little ones, and plenty of walking for the more active. There is a broad range of accommodation opportunities from family flats to tent sites, but best of all it is a place where we can leave television, work, phones and traffic behind.

Even the beautiful coastline could not make my husband like his work climbing up the microwave radio tower. But to me, it looks like a great place for a field trip.

The Prom is a place that has it all, wildlife, magnificant beaches, walking tracks and some where to stay. I Love all the time I spend in the park.

I remember when I was 5 years old going to Wislons Promontay on the back of a tray truck for the Sunday School picnic. It was like going to a magic place. The beautiful clear water of Tidal river, and the birds flying all about you.Everyone was so excited to just be there in this wonderful place. Also they had a magic display of the flora and fauna of the area and it left in imprint on our minds of a fascinating place. That is 60 years ago. And I would love to get back there sometime.

83 Patricia Williams

May 16th, 2008 at 12:19 pm

I felt my burdens physically lift off my shoulders after walking through some bush and on to a beautiful beach. It is a place to forget your troubles and drink in the beauty of nature for it is everywhere you look. So Natural, So real, So serene.

82 Howie Payne

May 16th, 2008 at 11:46 am

Having been to Wilsons Prom a few times over the years, I think it is the place to go to relax, walking to renew ones fitness, resting to view the lovely colours of the water and the Sunsets.

Of course there are the wild life, the vegetation to look at while doing all of these things and too sleep at night ,listening to the waves crashing on the shores around the camp at Tidal River.

81 Rhonda McCallum

May 16th, 2008 at 11:20 am

I have been to Wilsons Prom each year for the last 4 years for a weekend with work collegues. It is the most relaxing place one can go. With 24 people staying in a lodge there is something for everyone to do. You can sit and read, walk the many offered tracks, surf, canoe, swim, fish and so much more.

As a sailor, it is well worth braving whatever Bass Straight has in store for you to do the 24 hour trip from Queenscliff down to Refuge Bay. It is truly one of Australia’s most beautiful hideaways and worth doing every year. OK, a few times every year.

Wilsons Prom has everything I love - great scenery, great beaches, great bush walks, lots of birds and animals and no commercialism!!!

Wilson’s Prom is rugged and wild and yet so beautiful and getting back to nature is easy. The wildlife is wonderful and the walks are safe and as long as you want them to be with spectacular, untouched views. Simmering sunsets and cool blue sparkling water surrounds you and makes all the hassles from the city and work simply melt away.

The Prom is a place that you must visit. I have been going there now for at least 30 years and I have enormously fond memories of being there as a child camping with my family. With so much to do and so much nature to enjoy, it’s easily my most favourite place in Victoria.

The Prom is a magical environment that allows Victorians to enjoy nature at it’s best. Though Sydney is known by all overseas tourists, the Prom is a destination waiting to be discovered by the world. One of Australia’s greatest assests!

74 Genevieve Gill

May 13th, 2008 at 6:45 pm

“The Prom” is a magic place, my favourite in Victoria. Great walking/sightseeing/swimming or just plain relaxing spot. The beaches are pristine and the camping facilities are very good too.It is the perfect place to taking a visiting interstate or overseas friend or for anyone interested in seeing a special place.

73 Russell

May 12th, 2008 at 7:34 pm

An amazing place that should be further away from civilization, well worth the effort to get to.
Great sunrise from memory, and the walk up the hill on the second morning, well lets just say it was steep and worth every step.

72 Birgitta March

May 12th, 2008 at 9:43 am

As an inbound tourguide, we get to see a lot of Australia but this is a unique experience: wildlife in abundance , truly amazing views, the place where the bush meets the beaches. I wish every overseas tourist could experience this unique place…

I went with Wildlife Coast Cruises again after the Seal Watching Cruise experience in Phillip Island to the prom. The cruise was MAGICAL to say the least!Such amazing scenery, the boat is so comfortable, the crew so informed and friendly and the food just keeps coming!We anchored at Refuge Cove and went on shore, we felt like we were the only people in the world!This is a must do trip for anyone who loves the prom

70 Eileen Bradsworth

We are so lucky to have a National park like this one. It is so peaceful but there are plentyof things to occupy people of any age- pleasant strolls on the beach or in the bush, strenuous bush walks if you are able or just relaxing on the beach.

we are regular visitors and our son in particular is always required to take overseas visitors on walking tours of the Prom - usually they have heard about it through word or mouth or have seen it on English television

67 Mel hibbins

May 8th, 2008 at 9:05 am

Beautiful, untouched, rugged. Feels so different from many other places in Victoria. Makes you realise how lucky we are to be Australian to have such a natural wonderland like the Prom at our finger tips. Also makes all the other human worries we have feel insignificant.

66 Robert Keen

May 7th, 2008 at 9:15 pm

It really does have everything - remote enough to be peaceful, close enough to be accessible; beaches, bush walks, flat walks, climbing wallks; so many views of different kinds; wildlife - birds, animals, insects, plants; fresh air, all kinds of weather - its just not possible to explore it all. Luv it!!

You get a sense of how beautiful Wilsons Prom is long before you get there. Just drive towards the lovely township of Foster on the South Gippsland Highway (2 hours from Melbourne) and gasp as the panorama of the Prom, Corner Inlet and Waratah Bay comes into view. Truly magnificent - like the whole of South Gippsland.

64 Val

May 7th, 2008 at 11:22 am

Wilsons Prom is a wonderful piece of Nature, We love putting our Boat in at Port Welshppol and heading out tthe entrance and down along the Eastern side of the Prom which is so unspoilt and only accesable by Boat or on foot. The Coves of Refuge and Sealers are wonderful spots for a picnic lunch, romantic stroll along the beach or some peace and solitude. Refuge Cove is very popular with Boaties and Yachties and is often used as a safe stop over on long journeys around this section of coast line. The fishing around the Island out from these coves is fantastic and you never know what you may get.

63 Alycia Stivic

Wilson’s Prom is the most peaceful and beautiful destination in Victoria. It offers the visitor many reasons to stay and enjoy the walks on tracks and the beaches. Its a destination that you can go and stay with a group of friends. family or just taking a day trip. I love the natural beauty of the Prom and the friendly atmosphere that comes along with it. I would highly recommend visitors taking the trip to capture the beauty of the Prom.

62 H Bendall

May 7th, 2008 at 10:55 am

If Victorians want to really impress their visitors - go to the Prom.
From walking (easy and difficult for young and old), hiking overnight, swimming, surfing, diving and fishing, then the camping with all the wild life and terrific photo opportunities…its all there.
The Ranges are very helpful with ample facilities for a day or longer stay.

61 Denise Trani

We have even had a drop of snow! An amazing place to see and visit.

58 Andy Lambert

May 7th, 2008 at 9:21 am

The clean “untouched waters” of The Prom are so spectacular.
Fishing and scuba diving are some of the great pastimes we enjoy whilst in the region.

Not to mention the picturesque scenery of the whole region.

A magnificent place.

57 Howard Booth

May 5th, 2008 at 10:36 pm

The Mountains on Wilsons Promontory can be viewed from as far away as the Stzreslecki Ranges and the hills of South Gippsland, it is simply breathtaking. The tranquility and contrasting scenery of the Prom is is an experience not to be missed.

56 Ruth Hoskin

May 5th, 2008 at 1:49 pm

We have just returned from a wonderful, envigorating week at the Prom. It was the spot when I first discovered the wonders of the Australian bush and the joys (and pains) of bushwalking; the place we returned to for camping trips over the years, and our family holiday spot for 10 years when our children were little. It was just superb to return, after 10 years and child-free, to this beautiful place. It is still as stunning as before. We can’t wait to go back - especially to walk those magnificent beaches and toexplore interesting coastline habitats

55 James Sherry

I walked the Tidal River to the Lighthouse track with 2 friends over 40 years ago.
The track was overgrown and we had to push our way through in some parts.
We walked there & halfway back on 1 day and spent the night in the old PMG hut.
It was dark when we arrived and we ate & slept & next day were told there had been a snake in the hut the day before. Just as well it was dark!
What a great experience with such wonderful views and bushland.

53 Avril van Wamel

The first place we take our overseas visitors; they, like us, can’t believe that such an unspoilt place still exists so close to a city. The views, the beaches, the walks and the wildlife are all spectacular and unique; what a way to relax and recuperate!

50 heather bligh

May 3rd, 2008 at 11:04 am

It is a unique place that has it all. One can find solitude, activity,walks,the best swimming beach that is safe,a fun place for ball games to amuse the children at Tidal River and camping that gives one a sense of isolation.

49 Charles Hogarth

May 3rd, 2008 at 12:28 am

The southernmost point of the Australian mainland. The granitic mountains covered by an astonishing range of different vegetation types and seascapes on every hand combined with abundant birdlife and unique animals. A place in which it is possible to achieve for a time a solitary location for contemplation amid the pressing needs of contemporary society. A place in which it is possible to watch the waves crash against the cliffs in spectacular fashion and on another occasion experience a wineglass sea. The offshore islands provide an image of the everlasting nature of the action of the waves.

48 Bruce Genat

46 Ian McDonald

May 1st, 2008 at 9:31 pm

We thoroughly enjoy the whole of South Gippsland, the beautiful beaches and views of Wilsons Prom. We have always found the traveling around the area and staying at the friendly local caravan parks to be a pleasant experience. It is the friendly people who make the place as much as the scenery.

45 Maxim Wood

May 1st, 2008 at 3:48 pm

After working at Wilsons Prom for eight years,and travelling to many parts of England, Wales and Scotland Europe and Mexico The Prom is still the most breathtaking place in the world.
It’s plant and wildlife are unique,and the scenery is unsurpassed.
Without a doubt my number one choice.

Where else can you Hike, Surf, Snorkle, Kayak, swim, scuba dive, camp, fish, see aboundant iconic wildlife, Birds, and Plants. Reach mountain tops with views that people all over the world come to see. Take a boat trip around the park visiting the islands that have marine life sunbaking on them. ride your bike on the great prom drive road, walk on a sculded beach or track, Have a picnic on the beach with family and friends.Watch the sunrise from the ocean and then watch the sun sink into the sea in the evening, see a million stars at night, all in one day. That is why it is the best place in Victoria to visit.

I have grown up near the Promontory , and never get tired of the beauty and tranquility of the place,the mountains are continually changing their aspect with the weather and the beaches are never altering in the way they seem to make you feel you are at the end of the world looking out across Bass Strait .
it is one of the few untouched places left to enjoy nature at its best

31 D Schroeder

30 Wendy Williamson

Apr 30th, 2008 at 10:57 am

The unspoilt natural beauty of the Prom is unparallelled in Victoria, from fern-filled gullies to soaring granite mountains, part rugged rocky coastline, part idyllic sandy beaches. Explore it in short strolls or long hikes - or take it easy and just revel in its loveliness, recharging your batteries and appreciating why it is regarded amongst Victoria’s national parks as the jewel in the crown.

29 Joan Morris

Apr 29th, 2008 at 8:18 pm

Wilsons Promontory and surrounds has it all, the sea, the mountains, the wildlife and farmland. It is great for all seasons with ever changing views, clean beaches, walks for all ages, great fishing. It is only 2 hours drive from the outskirts of Melbourne and offers an abundance of activities for the whole family.
It is Victorias hidden secret and should be on on your list for must do soon.

28 Dale Morris

Apr 29th, 2008 at 7:15 pm

Be it a hike to the lighthouse, a hop up Mount Oberon or a swim at Squeaky Beach the Prom has everything. From beautiful views to rascally wombats and squawking parrotts there is so much to see and all of it is beautiful. That feeling of isolation at the southermost point on the Aussie mainland is unbeatable, and those tired legs after a hike to Sealers cove are absolutely worth it. WIlsons Prom is Australia at it’s absolute stunning best.

27 Werner Lange

Apr 29th, 2008 at 5:58 pm

We live near the Prom and see the magnificent outline of this Peninsula every day with its magnificent variations of light and colour.All our overseas friends and visitors are always taken away by the beauty of this place.

26 Andrew

Apr 29th, 2008 at 5:51 pm

Wilsons Prom is Victoria’s most accessible ‘wilderness’. The views over water and over hills, of pounding surf or tranquil rivers and inlets are all within easy walking distances. An extended walk will take you to the southern tip of our mainland and its rugged beauty. The sunsets from Mt Oberon are magical and easily reached by anyone who enjoys walking. Tidal River village may be buzzing with family activity but you can still find solitude on a beach or in the bush. The ‘Prom’ is a fantastic destination rich in wildlife, steeped in history and natural wonders.

25 Norman Wilkins

Apr 29th, 2008 at 5:49 pm

Natural Beauty, best beaches in Australia, great coastal and bush walks, spectacular scenery and very few places like it where the ocean meets the mountains.

24 Ros Wathen

Apr 29th, 2008 at 5:31 pm

The scenery is stunning, the wildlife prolific and unafraid. There are kilometres of glorious walking tracks to suit any fitness level. The surf beaches are exceptional and often almost devoid of people. Birdwatching and wildflower identifying add another dimension All this only about three hours from Melbourne.

23 Susie Foletta

Apr 29th, 2008 at 5:10 pm

I voted for Wilsons Promontory as a favourite ‘must see’ as it remains one of the most superb examples of unspoilt natural beauty available in Victoria. That it is so available for everyone to enjoy is a true gift for us all to cherish and enjoy.

22 Jeannie

Apr 29th, 2008 at 5:08 pm

It’s impossible to hold onto the stresses of life when confronted with the overwhelming and healing energy of the Prom.

It blows the cobwebs from your soul, enlivens your spirit and makes you grateful that places of such magnificence are protected for us and future generations.

No matter what the weather, its wildness is invigorating and exciting.

It’s worth the drive to feel fully alive!

21 Mary Holgate

Apr 29th, 2008 at 4:56 pm

Wilsons Promontory is just the best breath taking views all year round, great walks. Yanakie Caravan Park is just 5 minutes to the gate, and the staff there are friendly and happy and always willing to help. Wilsons Prom. is gods heaven on earth.

20 Glen O'Neill

Apr 29th, 2008 at 4:11 pm

Wilsons Promontory is my favourite destination… The views are victorious in Victoria, the beaches are beautiful and it is always a pleasure to be there during any season - summer, autumn, winter or spring! The Lighthouse is a lovely place to rest, Squeaky Beach is special with it’s squeaky sand, it is a marvellous feeling to sit at the Mount Oberon summit and look over Tidal River, the islands and beyond.

19 Alanna Begg

It’s all about the great outdoors. Beautiful beaches, easy and rugged walks, spectacular scenery, fresh air, bush smells and wallabies spying on you. Stay nearby at Sandy Point and enjoy long walks (with your dogs if you like) on one of the most beautiful stretches of beach in Victoria. If you have a boat go crusing on Shallow Inlet and see if you can catch some fish. With safe beaches and lots of wildlife it’s the perfect family holiday.

The Prom has a special energy which brings peace and tranquility to the soul the minute I catch my first glimpse.
I love the isolation and the way we can walk forever on beaches and mountains and fern gullies.
Best of all I met my husband there on my first visit - it was definitely fate

The Prom is Paradise! It’s like closing the door on the outside world and feeling the stress melt away as you enter the gates. Fantastic beaches, walks available for all fitness levels - it’s just a breath of fresh air. It’s a privilege to be living only 45 mins from the Prom and being able to offer this paradise to our guests also.

12 Emma Harry

Apr 29th, 2008 at 10:47 am

I’ve been going to the Prom since I was a baby yet every time I drive round that corner and get the first glance of Whisky Bay, I still go WOW. Having travelled all around the world and visited many national parks and famous scenic places, the Prom still remains my favourite. It’s the kind of place that always amazes you with its beauty and it doesn’t matter what the weather is like because that’s all part of the experience.

11 Renae Conn

Apr 29th, 2008 at 9:38 am

The Prom can be loved and enjoyed regardless of the season. Breath - taking views that are ever changing with the weather conditions, an artist or photographers heaven.
A mulititude of activities for people of all ages and physical ability. The prom however is a focal point for the many other areas in close proximity that can be explored and enjoyed at a pace that suits me, all have some unique experiances to offer and the locals go out of their way to welcome you and share what they are so fortunate to be part of. I just keep going back for more.

10 Roger Aldons

Apr 29th, 2008 at 9:35 am

Fantastic natural mountain, rainforest and coastal scenery and beautiful sandy beaches, idyllic scenic coves and bays for exploring on foot or relaxing in while idling on a yacht at anchor, spectacular rock formations, wonderful unique Australian plants, indigenous species and colourful wildlife almost at every turn, tremendous walks for people of all abilities and fitness levels, wonderful views from lookouts, mountain peaks and walking tracks - all in one majestic national park that is virtually in our own “backyard” - only two hours from Melbourne!

9 Suzanne Occhipinti

Apr 29th, 2008 at 9:05 am

Pristine, sandy white beaches, flanked by magnificent bushland and amazing (!!!)rocky outcrops. The scenery is absolutely stunning and we are blown away by it’s beauty every time we get down there. The wildlife is fantastic and the kids all love it (so do the big kids!!). There’s a really great range of accommodation at Tidal River, from camping to self-contained cabins at really reasonable rates, but be sure to book early as it is such a popular spot! Loads of great hiking trails too. It has something for everyone.

Wilsons Prom is a unique icon … surrounded by blue water & stunningly clean beaches, and criss-crossed by unbelievable walks through ever varying landscapes, from wetlands to mountain peaks.

7 Georgia Wilson

Apr 28th, 2008 at 9:49 pm

The drive in to Tidal River from Yanakie is arguably the most breath taking 30 minutes’ of motoring in Victoria. Have your camera ready.

6 Robbie Philpott

Apr 28th, 2008 at 7:08 pm

Hiking round the southern half of The Prom’ has been my best experience to date; you get to experience amazing ocean views, pristine untouched beaches (esp. Waterloo Bay), different environments blend from one to the other as you get to enjoy open scubland to bushland to temperate rainforest to wetlands, etc. the list goes on. The best thing is that it’s untouched.

5 Angela Taylor

Apr 27th, 2008 at 6:46 pm

What more could you want in a holiday? Sandy beaches (even one that squeaks!!), great views, relaxing atmosphere, wildlife wandering along the road-side and scenic bushwalks. Stay in the laid back township of Yanakie, visit wineries, go to a market. Sooo much to do in the area!!

4 Alan Gundrill

The hike from Tidal River, through the amazing forest and sandy beaches is spectacular at the least. With an array of amazing (and curious) wildlife, one can really enjoy the true beauty of Victoria’s coastline all in the one destination. Watching the mud crabs during the tidal movements is always a lot of fun, and well worth the drive.

What could be better than to wander along Squeaky Beach where the sand really does squeak under your feet; or to camp at Tidal River and watch a wombat waddle past your tent; or to walk through forest and fern gullies to the tranquil Sealers Cove.

Something for everone - bushwalking for the energetic, beaches and relaxation for familes and the more sedate. Fascinating flora and fauna, views to kill for - you can see to Tasmania (Rondono Island) History going back to the beginning of european exploration, or thousands of years to the arrival of the Kulin people - and possibly the connection point for the Tasmanian indigenous people
Camp, caravan or book a hut - from the basic to the wonderful ‘enviro-huts along the river.
You can even join the Friends of the Prom Inc. and do regular volunteer work to conserve this magic place.
