I, along with a few friends, went to Wilsons Promontory last weekend. For those who do not know, Wilsons Promontory is the southern most part of the Australian mainland and boasts of beautiful beaches with white sand, mountains and stunning scenery.
The Prom, as it is popularly known, has a number of camping sites which are required to be booked before you actually go there and start camping. For those not-so-interested-in-camping, alternative accommodation is available at nominal rates at Yanakie (the nearest town to Prom), Foster and Fish Creek etc. There are numerous activities that you can undertake depending on your interests. Some of them include but in no way are limited to bush walking, mountain climbing, surfing, diving and off course - beach cricket.
On our way back the next day, I thought is was only wise to make the best of the opportunity so we went to Phillip Island as well. Lucky for us, there was a motor show at the Phillip Island MotoGP circuit and we feasted on some of best cars I have ever seen loaded with all the accessories you can imagine. However, on the other side we were too early to get a glimpse of the world famous Penguin march as it only starts around 9pm and it was not possible for us to wait for so long as we had to be back by evening. May be next time.
Here is the link to some of the pictures.
With only 200kms south east of Melbourne, Wilsons Prom is a perfect getaway for the weekend and have some time off from busy city life.
