Embark on a captivating day trip to Wilsons Promontory from Melbourne. Begin your adventure onto Big Drift, a massive inland sand dune unconnected to any beach or coastline. The two kilometre walk across it’s desert-like landscape offers expansive views of the park. Traverse the the famous Squeaky Beach to Tidal River. The white sand of Squeaky Beach makes a noise when you walk on it. The fine, rounded grains of quartz sand compress under your feet, creating a high-pitched squeak. We walk past massive granite boulders as the track winds over the headland before descending to Tidal River. As daylight fades, we go native animal spotting. Wombats, kangaroos and emus are commonly sighted in the park. We'll return to campus by 8pm, leaving you with cherished memories of Wilsons Promontory's coastal beauty and a taste of its rich history.
