Attractions around the area
Wilsons Promontory
Wilsons Prom, the southernmost tip of mainland Australia. Walk remote coastal bushland trails and swim at pristine beaches dominated by granite tors. Hike to a more secluded campsite. Either way, the local wombats, kangaroos and emus are waiting to meet you.
Swim at Norman Beach – just a few minutes’ walk from Tidal River Campground, or go snorkelling for a unique underwater view of Victoria’s largest marine national park.
Scale the granite peaks of Mount Bishop or Mount Oberon for panoramic views, or enjoy an overnight hike in The Prom. In the north there’s a remote and rugged wilderness to explore, while the south is home to the historic Wilsons Promontory Lightstation and Sealers Cove.
Feel the sand between your toes at some of the more secluded beaches of Wilsons Prom, from Cotters Beach to Whisky Bay and Fairy Cove. Check out Big Drift, an impressive inland sand dune system, one of the Prom’s well kept secrets.

The Big Drift
Escape the crowds who flock to the southern Prom with a walk out to the Big Drift, a series of ever-changing inland sand dunes. This other-worldly landscape reveals a very different side to Wilsons Prom and is a short walk from Stockyards Camp, just by the park entrance.
Agnes Falls

The river descends 570 metres (1,870 ft) over its course. The Agnes River sub-catchment area is managed by the West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority. The river is traversed by the South Gippsland Highway between Toora and Welshpool.
