Stunning Beaches, Unique Wildlife, and Local Insights
We did limited research for Wilsons Prom – mostly in the car driving. It seemed that most the hikes at Wilsons Prom were 10 miles plus – it is a destination for multi-day hiking trips. So we thought we would settle for beaches where you could park and have a short walk to the beach. We were able to go to about 5 unreal beaches with short hikes to overlooks. We saw a wombat – they are pretty big but aren’t aggressive if you aren’t. We did a final hike to find some kangaroos in their natural habitat but they were hard to see as they were eating in the bush. There were also Umus – and everyone else hiking was much more excited about Umus than Roos. I was told at work, Umus are pretty rare to see and outside the city, seeing a Roo is common. We took a side drive out of the park – and saw many more Roos just driving than on our hike. Definitely another trip to Wilsons Prom in 2024.

Highlights of Sharon and Mary’s Adventure in Uluru
Sharon and Mary finished up with a quick trip to Uluru – full experience, 108 degrees, dinner in the desert, local tales. They loved it. But the disadvantage of a very remote place with limited flights in and out is that – when the plane breaks – there isn’t another one to take or even someone to fix it. So they got two bonus days there – unfortunately 6 hrs at a time spot they couldn’t enjoy it. Sharon and Mary’s trip back to the USA delayed a couple of days as well – glad booked on miles and easy to change.
I did get a nice sunset bike ride in on the “second” hot day before I headed back to the cold, dark, USA.
Back to the USA now – visa expired – and still on the quest to get my Maryland police clearance so I can apply for my new visa. Plan is to be back in Melbourne in mid-January.
