Wilsons Promontory is one of Victoria's most
popular destinations and is only a 2-3 hour drive from Melbourne along the
South Gippsland Highway.
Nominated as a National Park in 1898 it received international recognition
as a Biosphere Reserve under UNESCO in 1982.
The promentory is dominated by the mountain range which runs down the centre and offers great views from many vantage points. The mountains also feed numerous creeks and rivers with fern glades and rainforest areas. Walks lead to most points of the 50,000 hectare park and activities include bushwalking, swimming and snorkelling, scuba diving and camping. There are 100km. of walking tracks leading to remote camping areas, or just short walks into the rainforest along the rivers.
The area features white beaches, fern gullies, eucalypt forests, temperate rainforests, heath, grasslands and wetlands. Spectacular granite rock formations frame superb views to the surrounding waters, now protected as the Wilsons Promontory Marine Park.
The Prom provides sanctuary for over 700 native plant species and 30 kinds of mammals including kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, wombats, echidnas, seals and bats. Amphibians, reptiles, insects and other invertebrates together with over 180 species of birds make up a rich and diverse ecology.
There is an information centre at Tidal River. The incredible beauty of the landsacape and its proximity to Melbourne ensure it will remain one of Victoria's leading parks.
