Title: Cruise To Wilsons Promontory, the Southernmost Point of Mainland Australia
Post by: rustynutz on August 15, 2012, 02:35:09

I hadn't been down to Wilsons Promontory for some time so last Saturday afternoon I thought I'd wander on down for a look see.
This was my first trip there since the March 2011 floods which damaged bridges, roads & walking tracks and devastated much of this popular National Park....

While, as always I enjoyed the drive in, I was dismayed to find the road up to Mount Oberon (http://www.visitvictoria.com/Regions/Gippsland/Activities-and-attractions/Outdoor-activities/Walking-and-hiking/South-Gippsland/Mount-Oberon-Summit.aspx) car park still closed after all this time.
Bugger, I had been looking forward to hiking from the carpark up to the summit and taking some photos to share on here......
Oh well, I guess that will teach me to check first before I take off on a whim...lol.

Anyhow, I got some nice footage of the drive in from the entrance to the Park and a few snaps of the scenery and wildlife as well.....

I hope you enjoy.....  :)
