We leave our campsite and take a glimpse of the prom's interior, traversing the heathland, eucalypt forrest, and warm temperature lush rainforest of LillyPilly Gully.
A side track will take us to summit mount bishop for magnificent views of the prom's west coast and shore islands. Our return to tidal river takes us along Squeaky beach and up to Pillar Point for more breathtaking coastal views and getting up close to the majestic granite boulders that make the area so unique.
Saturday afternoon.
On return from our morning adventure we can spend the afternoon exploring Norman beach. We could have a swim if the weather is right or go rock hopping around the headlands. There is an abundance of things to see in this little section of the world. climbing whale rock is also a favourite.
There will be beach games such as viking chess and finska which are always great fun.
Saturday evening
We will enjoy a group dinner provided by Hiked and a relax and chat. We will ensure a viewing of the sunset from Norman beach or wander around to Norman point to see it.
Sunday.
After breakfast and pack up we have the option to head up to the summit of Mount Oberon or visit the big drift. or both!
Mount Oberon summit walk. 7 km. 2 hour return. Lots of ups and down.
We will follow the track gradually up to the summit for a 360 degree view of the park you won't forget.
The big drift walk. 4km. 1.5 hours.
The big drift is an expansive landscape of inland sand dunes. It's quite unique to see these in Victoria. Our walk will allow some exploration and play for those who can't resist sliding down the dunes.
