Wilsons Prom

Marty, Adam and I spent the Easter weekend tramping (yes NZ word I know!) around the Wilsons Prom...here are some happy snappies of our adventures. We intended it to be a nice and relaxing trip but ended up walking around 50k's in 3 days, some were less happy about that than others...however, I claim that the VIC parks people cant measure distances correctly. Somehow, according to their signs walking, to the lighthouse is a few km's longer than the way back, even though its along the same path hmmmm.
There were fires through the park this time last year caused (so I hear) by back-burning gone awry, very awry! falling asleep on the job is alright in some occupations but not this one. Anyway, we spent most of the time walking through the burnt section of the park but the up side is that the water views are much improved.
nice tights!

wow the new and improved view...
and the infamous lighthouse.South point...funnily enough like the name sounds its the southern most point in Australia

Our lovely campsite at Roaring Meg...which I havent decided if the name is from the roaring trickle of a creek or the roaring wind that threatened to bring trees into our tent. Oh and look my nice new blue tent isnt it lovely!
