Welcome to the Prom
It’s only one page in the Lonely Planet and many people wouldn’t bother stopping here on their way to Melbourne but the “Prom” as it is called is probably the most beautiful and unspoiled piece of coast between Syndey and Melbourne. From the moment we drove through the entrance gate we had the feeling we were in a remote part of New Zealand. Green hills rolling into a wild ocean without any signs of human presence. We set up camp at in the Tidal River campground next to the river and beach. Plenty of wildlife to spot around here: rabbits, lizards, wombats, deer and German tourists in big Maui campers. A sundown walk along the beach shows us what the Prom is all about.
The next day we head out to the shallow beach at the tidal river and are surprised by the colours and waves in the water. Never seen a river with waves before. For some of us the sand here is even tastier than in Lakes Entrance. After saying goodbye to the local wombats we break up camp to hit the road towards Philip Island.
