Finally at Wilsons Prom

Well we have finally arrived at Wilsons Prom, the entry gate is about 30 kms from the actual camp ground, and the road is still a bit chewed up with some big potholes here and there, I managed to miss most of them but a big one caught me by surprise and bounced the car and van around a bit.

We arrived at the camp ground at about 1030 and then proceeded to our site, only to find that some really nice person had parked there car there and plugged in to the power to charge their phone, they had then taken off on a little hike, (stuff you mate I’m all right).

We did finally manage to get on to our site and I parked the van as close as I could to the side of the offending vehicle, unfortunately I was out walking when the driver came back but, he did manage to extricate his car with no damage to my van (don’t care about his car).

The facilities lived up to expectations, there are decent sized sites but none of them have water or sullage, not even the powered sites.

After setting up we had a quick tour of the main area, the beach as well as tidal River. The main beach here is wide shallow and great for swimming it is flanked on each side by large bolder encrusted hills, and the water was cold.

The weather is still warm but it is quite humid so it feels hotter than it actually is.

You can also fish in the area so I am hoping to wet a line tomorrow, will let you know how I go.

Well I’ll sign off for now as we are about to have dinner.

 The main beach at Tidal River beautiful shallow and sandy.

 This bloke tried to retrieve his boat from the beach, if you look closely you can see both his car and boat trailer are bogged to the axels, the Parks Nissian Ute could not pull him out so they called in the tractor, lucky the tide was going out not in.

 Rob can't resist taking bird photo's.
