So after Apollo Bay, we headed on a long drive to Wilson's Promnatory (spelling! ahh!). It is the southernmost tip of the state of Victoria, and it is a national park and absolutely spectacular!
We drew and hiked and went spotlighting at night with our biologist, Pete. We spotted so many possums, and saw the stars at night, and saw many wombats! They are really funny marsupials that only come out at night - and the kind of waddle and wiggle their butt as they walk - they are realyl adorable! We also had a chance to draw kangaroos at the airstrip - I guess the favorite hang out place for the kangaroos there. Oh, and I saw an emu!
Two years ago there was a fire here, so there are many dead trunks of trees, but they are so eerily beautiful, especially against the blue of the ocean.
Our beach :) The most amazing thing: We came here at night, and danced and stomped and ran by the water on the far side where there is a little river - and the beach glittered and shone and sparkled. It was like being in a disney movie, but better. There were bioluminesence in the sand I guess, so when we walked on it, it sparkled! It was so incredible, and I have never been so blown away I think ever! And happy and exultant and jumping up and down!
The Lilly Pilly Gully trail - how cool of a name is that?
A tough hour long straight up hike, to be here, at the top of Mt. Oberon - not too shabby huh?
And that beach is the same one that is ours in the picture above! To give you some perspective of the amazing place we were in.
Look down from plane flight to our next stop.
