Organ Pipes National Park

Dato:
31.10.2023
Turtype:
Spasertur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
3,7km

After stopping at the airport of Melbourne and before driving to Geelong in order to catch the ferry to Tasmania, we included a brief visit to the Organ Pipes National Park in the northwest of Melbourne. We found the presented information a little minimal in the sense that it did not become clear up-front that there are multiple place along Jacksons Creek that are worth seeing: Tessellated Pavement, Rosette Rock, and Organ Pipes. Luckily, we were curious enough to walk by them nonetheless! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Lilly Pilly Gully

Dato:
28.10.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
5,6km

Originally, we also had an idea to hike up to Mount Oberon in Wilsons Prom. Since we were unable to find some reasonable parking near Telegraph Saddle, we made a quick change of plans to also walk into Lilly Pilly Gully, just a little bit back along the road. From the carpark, we first walk almost level into the jungle (along the Lilly Pilly Gully Trail) until we got to the starting point of the Lilly Pilly Gully Boardwalk. This little round, in the middle of a dense jungle, is really impressive. One take-away impresssion from this place is that one would not be surprised, if suddenly a dinosaur walked "around the corner"! :-) After enjoying this little round, we then completed the Lilly Pilly Gully Circuit by taking "the higher route" back (which would also bring one >>>

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:00t
Distanse:
1,8km

Our third stop in Wilsons Prom (Wilsons Promonotory) was to visit Whisky Bay. We started at the Picnic Bay Carpark, walking down to the Picnic Bay and Whisky Bay Lookout, first. We then continued to Whisky Bay, which impresses with its colored rocks and a nice beach! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Prom Wildlife Walk

Dato:

Turtype:
Spasertur
Turlengde:
0:45t
Distanse:
2,8km

After first walking out to the Dunes of the Big Drift, we did our next stop to walk along the Prom Wildlife Walk (in Wilsons Promonotory) to see some wildlife of the park. While we "only" got to see one Wallaby, we got close to quite a few Emus, which clearly was an impressive and nice experience! Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Exploring the Dunes of the Big Drift

Dato:
28.10.2023
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
6,7km

After rounding off the conference in Melbourne, we were ready to explore Victoria a bit. Our first target was Wilsons Prom (Wilsons Promontory) in the southeast of Melbourne. Before driving "all the way" into Wilsons Prom, we started with an exploration of the Dunes of the Big Drift. Following a well-marked trail from the road, we easily connected to the dunes. All this rather large area of sand dunes, surrounded by green nature (and the sea in the west), is a bit surreal and really an interesting spot to visit. Definitely worth the short walk! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

We had a bit of time to explore Melbourne. Starting at the Southbank, we first walked along the Yarra river to get to the Royal Botanic Gardens. After making a nice round through the park, we returned back (just in time before dinner). Nice! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .
