Wilson's Promontory

Hi all,

Thought I would return from my blogging siesta with some tales and photos of this weekend's trip to Wilson's Promontory National in South East Victoria.

Firstly, the great news is that Asia is back in Melbourne. Yes after four months in NZ, she is back! We have been pretty busy since she got back, catching up with friends and hosting a great welcome back party last Saturday night. This weekend however, Nick and Georgia invited us down to Wilson's Promontory for a weekend camping and possibly some walking/tramping. The walking was doubtful as Georgia is heavily pregnant and we thought probably not up for much of a walk. Anyway Asia packed up most of the gear on Friday afternoon and we managed to get away from the city about 6:30ish. For those who don't know, Wilson's Prom or just 'the Prom' is 230 km South East of Melbourne and when you add in Friday night rush hour traffic, it wasn't until nearly 11pm on Friday night that we were finally putting up the tent - lucky there was cricket to listen to on the radio!!!

We had a great weekend - on Saturday it was mostly just lounging around and soaking up the sunshine, although we managed a quick game of frisbee and a swim at the beach. Sunday was slightly more energetic and we took an 2 hour walk over the hill to Little Oberon bay. The beach there was even more impressive than the beach at Tidal River and there were some good waves for body surfing to boot. Overall, a great weekend and well worth the travel time.
