Family Holiday in Australia (Day 9): Wilson Promontory

Day 9: Sale --> Foster --> Wilson Promontory --> Clayton

Cheng Kai has specifically requested for a trip to Wilson Promontory. He had read from the internet that the PROM is a beautiful place not to be missed!
The weather had been quite kind to us till now - it started to rain continuous. We heard from the news that a cold front had moved in from the west, carrying with it strong wind and torrential rains. Reportedly, a few shallow areas in Victoria had been flooded...

It was still raining when we reached Wilson Promontory. Hence, we could only make a quick stop at selected look-out points/beaches.

A short detour before driving to the PROM --- a view of old jetty 




Entered Wilson Promontory National Park, on the way to Tidal River

Another hot spot in the PROM: walking towards Squeaky Beach

Animals in the wild: Emu and Kangaroos










There was no restaurant in Wilson Promontory. We traveled back to Foster for a quick lunch (Fish and Chips... again). As it was still raining heavily after we finished our lunch, we decided to forego our original plan of visiting Phillip Island. Instead we drove back to Clayton, and spend the night in Clayton (at Sandown Motel)....
