Find adventure and beauty at Wilsons Promontory National Park, offering visitors a chance to hike through a pristine landscape of native Australian wilderness and access a long stretch of white beaches suitable for swimming and surfing. This site, popularly called "The Prom," is one of Australia’s most popular national parks, easily accessible from Melbourne and featuring over 80 kilometers (50 mi) of walking trails. The area held significance for several indigenous tribes, who populated this part of Australia when the promontory formed a land bridge connecting the mainland to Tasmania. Today, the park is home to varied wildlife, including kangaroos, wombats, echidnas, emus, and birds. Highly popular with bushwalkers and campers, the park offers a number of lodges and serviced camping areas near the mouth of Tidal River.

    Fantastic and must see attraction. Great bush walks and breaches for swimming. Likely won't have internet on your phone but small price to pay when you visit this national park - do yourself a favour - disconnect for a few days and enjoy nature!
  • By Prince H
    This is the best place in Victoria. I visited many times. I would strongly recommend. It has got nice hiking and trails for all age groups. There colorful bird and plane beach. Well maintained by management. Many thanks to Victoria parks for that. It is beautiful long drive but worth it. Many thanks
