Wilsons Promontary National Park

A deserted beach we wandered across

Wow! We fell in love with this little peninsula. We ended up camping at a place called Duck Point just outside the National Park's boundaries and therefore a little cheaper (we were squeezed in amongst the boats.) Wilsons Promontary was gorgeous and gave us a taster as to what Tasmania would be like - it was the last land link between Tassie and the mainland before the rise in sea level! We did a lot of walking over the next few days, through temperate rainforest and beaches. We visited Squeeky Beach - so called because it 'squeeks' when you walk due to the quartz sand and generally relaxed in the National Parks green surroundings. David had a little swim but soon clambered out after experiencing the stongest currents ever - Stong sountern ocean!

On our last day just as we were leaving the National Park all the cars were being pulled over for random breath tests. After David had finshed huffing and puffing we were soon on our way back for one more night at Duck Point before heading for Melbourne....
