Wilsons Promontory National Park

MILLERS LANDING We had a great day today in this National Park on the South East corner of Victoria. This bay had a variety of bird life, swans, seagulls, ibis, crows, black parrots and egrets. There were even quite a few jellyfish washed up here and around at one of the beaches several blue bottles with tentacles up to 2 metres long. SQUEAKY BEACH Yes, the sand does squeak when you walk across it. The granite boulders were just spectacular and a reminder of the ones at Coles Bay in Tasmania. Lovely to visit during the week as felt like we had the place to ourselves.
PICNIC BAY There were several beaches on this side of the National Back and the other side was mountains covered in huge granite rocks. Would be quite spectacular when they have electric storms. Early 2009 a lot of the park was destroyed by bush fires and the areas are recovering very well.
Really chuffed as we finally saw a live wombat, he was waddling back into some bush right by where the parks ranger workshops were.
Just as I zoomed in on these flowers and pressed the button the bee landed.
