Wilsons Promontory National Park
The Promontory (known as 'the Prom') once linked Tasmania to the
mainland. It has been a reserved area since 1898, with its 80 miles
(130km) of coastline framed by vast granite masses, mountains,
forests and fern gullies. The focus for tourism and recreation is
at Tidal River, about 19 miles (30km) inside the park boundary,
where visitors enjoy the sandy beach at Norman Bay, and Squeaky
Beach with its pure white quartz sand. It is possible to walk up Mt
Oberon or take 'the Prom Lighthouse Trek' with a ranger along the
southern section of the Park.
