George Bass Coastal Walk

Reviewed By G3995HVsaral - Melbourne, Australia

We parked at the southern end of Punchbowl Rd in San Remo, all the cars including ours were parked on the side of the road. Beautiful views started immediately. We walked to Punchbowl Coastal Reserve (marker 9) and back- it took 2.5hrs.. I blame it on my poor lockdown fitness and pregnant body, plus wearing hiking shoes that I haven't taken on a long hike before! Was only planning to allocate 1.5hrs previously! The track is popular both directions but not so busy that you don't have it to yourself for several minutes or more. Several options to access the beaches (just not for swimming/wading as waters are too rough and unpatrolled). I recommend a hat, sunblock, hiking shoes, water/ light snack as there are lots of exposed sections. Lots of steep sections too and gravel/sandy parts. One section was hard to follow with a lack of a marker but we managed to find it. Beautiful fresh air. Saw lots of people taking their dogs and kids (older kids are better).

Great Prom Walk

This Great Prom Walk takes in the best of everything at Victoria's most loved national park. Pass through beautiful ferny glades and forest to Sealers Cove, Refuge Cove and Little Waterloo Bay. follow the coastal track to the lighthouse. After leaving the lighthouse, take Telegraph Track back through the Prom's undulating interior to the Telegraph Saddle car park.

French Narrows Coastal Walk

Reviewed By jtgs500 - Mansfield, Australia

Jan and I walked through the estuary and onto the beach. We kept walking along the rugged surf beach to the mouth of the Snowy river which was about 2.5kms. Memorable experience.

Paynesville Sunset Cove Walking Track

Reviewed By JanetBon

Unfortunately the sunrise was a bit over clouded but the walk from the street to Sunset Cove was really pleasant. Easy well patronised walking track walking west beside the lake with swans to enjoy along the way. Great start to the day.

Two Towns Trail

Reviewed By PatrickScholtes - Drouin, Australia

There should be more trails like this in all towns. Great for family walks or for getting that much needed exercise.

Tidal River Footbridge

Reviewed By PlanetOz - Melbourne, Australia

My wife and I walked across this bridge to get to the start of a few hiking trails. This is a very scenic part of Wilsons Prom. It is likely that all visitors to Wilsons Prom would walk across this bridge as it is near the Visitors Centre and the main car park.

Interesting array of sculptures on display in a pretty small town. Worth a stop and a walk around on the way to caves

Meetung Boardwalk

Reviewed By rosse976 - Hawthorn, Australia

The boardwalk was ideal for a stroll or more energetic walk. Nice water views all the way along. Not many people about. Perhaps busier at the weekends.
