An early start this morning to head to Korumburra for the park run, they start at 8am over here. I wasn’t participating, I decided since today was a walking day to go for a stroll with Noah. The weather was beautiful though, blue skies and a big yellow sun ☀️☀️.
Once the gang had finished the run we grabbed a coffee, headed back for a quick freshen up and down to Wilson’s Prom. Now for the geography lesson.
Wilson’s Prom is a national park on the southernmost point of mainland Australia. It is the largest coastal wilderness in Victoria, and it has been more or less left alone for tens of thousands of years, full of bush with wombats, kangaroos, koalas and other Australian wildlife ie snakes 😳. We saw 2 live wombats and one dead kangaroo so you can’t be too bad.
The first stop was Whisky Bay, a small bay with lots of smooth boulders, from here we walked to Picnic Bay, up and other the rocky headland to Squeaky Beach. Squeaky Beach is famous for its white quartz sand that makes a squeaky sound when you step on it. Pretty cool. Here we had a quick snack break and headed up to Pillar Point lookout where you could see Skull Rock, a granite island which over years has been weathered to make it look like a skull, sailors used it to navigate the Bass Strait. All in all we did approx 10km of steady walking. A good day all round.
We got back to the car around 2.45 and annoyingly the cafe at Tidal River closed at 3 so we headed to Wilson’s Prom Pizzeria for a quick snackett.
A few hours later we headed to Fish Creek Hotel for dinner, and some red wine. It was such a great day and the weather was beautiful! 😍
