Wilsons Promontory

Wilsons Promontory (The Prom)

Well, Sunday 23 August,  we departed 90 Mile Beach and found our way to Port Albert , was a tad ‘uninviting’ being in a car park in the middle of town and on a busy boat ramp. So we had a nice lunch of fish & chips overlooking the harbour (see pics).

Our view for the fish & chips lunch over one of the Port Albert jetties

Pressed on to the  Toora freecamp.
This camp was potentially great, by the river, away from traffic, loos, plenty of water and that was the rub, so much water on the ground making it very damp & soggy and not good for putting 4 tonne van & car on – memories of Four Mile Creek out of Brewarrina.
Sooooooo it was onto Yanakie Caravan Park (yes, ANOTHER Van Park) but it was closer to the Prom as seen in this pic.

Monday 24 August – Here is a map showing where the Van Park is and the route to Tidal River, the centre of Info, admin & accommodation in the Prom.
The Mount Bishop Walk and the Lilly Pilly Gully Nature Walk track are both a couple of Ks back from Tidal River.

Now the Rosella is helping Kym with local knowledge in the map.
