Before leaving the Melbourne area (for now; SR and I will be back), we took another daytrip to the southeast of the city: the wilderness area of Wilsons Promontory. Wilsons Prom was recommended to me by multiple people who gave me advice for this trip, and it did not disappoint. Squeaky Beach was gorgeous.
The retreating waves were making the most incredible patterns in the sand, including these tree-looking rivulets.
And at the Tidal River campground and café picnic tables, we got our first glimpse of the famed Australian kookaburra (though this one did not happen to be sitting "in the old gum tree")!
The views across the promontory, most of which can only be accessed on its extensive walking trails, made me long for more time for hiking here.
We did take an afternoon hike on Lilly Pilly Gully trail, which was lovely.
We also appreciated some emus who seemed to be residents of an open field alongside the only road into the park; they were there when we arrived and still attracting visitor attention there when we left.
Yet another lovely day in a lovely life.
Amen
