Weather or sunset is not in your favor?

Doesn’t matter – don’t skip this hike and aim for other pixels from the top.

Even if the weather is looking patchy as it did when we drove through the entrance to Wilsons Promontory National Park, trust me it’s worth.

The hike is about an hour uphill - could be challenging for less fit people, but doable.

How to get to Wilsons Promontory

By car

Follow the Monash Freeway (M1) away from the city which will eventually meet the South Gippsland Highway (M420) where you will need to turn left.  Follow the highway past the turn-off for Lang Lang until you reach the exit labelled Korumburra, Leongatha and Wilsons Promontory.  Make sure you remain on A440, and on the outskirts of Meeniyan, turn right onto Meeniyan-Promontory Road (C444) and follow this to Fish Creek/Meeniyan-Promontory Road.  This road passes through Yanakie, which is located 6 kilometres from the entrance to Wilsons Promontory National Park.  Once inside the park, it is a further 25 minutes drive to Tidal River.

By bus

The first step is to catch a bus to Fish Creek.  There is a V/Line bus service which runs between Southern Cross Station in Melbourne and Yarram stopping at Fish Creek in front of the Fish Creek Hotel and BP service station.  This bus service runs 7 days a week, with extra services on weekdays. 

You will be required to take a taxi for the final 55 kilometres to the park.
