Wilsons Promontory National Park

The Wilsons Promontory National Park, affectionately known as “The Prom”, is one of the states best loved parks and with good reason.

This 50,000-hectare reserve is threaded with a labyrinth of walking tracks that showcase all manner of magical realms sheltering abundant native wildlife. Wilsons Promontory is a refuge for an array of native wildlife including kangaroos, emus, wombats, echidnas and vividly plumed birds like rosellas.

Visit in spring to experience spectacular displays of wildflowers including orchids, wattle, heathland and other species or just as beautiful on a crisp winters day. The drive from the park entrance to Tidal River settlement is scenic and is well- signposted, with car parks, beaches and bushland accessible via side roads.

However, the best way to enjoy the spectacular scenery is on one of the many walking trails throughout the peninsula. Some of our recommendations.
