Wilsons Promontory

Major Features



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.
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.
