This is when things can really get exciting as we now slowly making our way toward Wilson’s Promontory via Lakes Entrance and the Gippsland Lakes Coastal Park. Lakes entrance marks the start of the Gippsland Coastal National Park with a ninety mile beach and very long and thin sand dunes that are still relatively unspoilt to this day. However to fully appreciate this park, you need a boat as it’s the only way to really explore this area, so it’s time to jump back in to the campervan on your way down south!

	Wild Koalas at Raymond Island – don’t forget to stop at Raymond Island as it’s a special place for wildlife and is known as being one of the most concentrated wild populations of Koalas in Australia!

Metung – if Koalas are not your thing then Metung which is situated on a peninsula on the lake and is a popular destination for those who want a waterside lifestyle. http://www.metung.com

Our suggestion now would be to take a slightly more direct line heading towards Wilson’s Promontory National Park as you are in for a real treat and you are going to need a few days here to appreciate its sheer beauty. Without a doubt, this is one of Victoria’s top destinations; imagine stunning mountains covered in native forests running right down to beautiful white sandy beaches and to accompany this there are the sounds of the rivers as they make their way down to join the sea.

This is a special place and another favourite of the Travel Wheels team. It’s also a fantastic place to see wild wombats, and they are such lovely animals, it’s well worth walking in the bush and trying to find them, however they might end up find you instead!

The Tidal River Area – this is one of the easier to reach areas with lush forest and great beaches with lots of bush walking. It’s well worth making this your base to explore the area, as there is so much to do.

	Enjoy walking – how about a beautiful 9km return walk visiting a number of beaches as you wander towards the Tidal River Area.
	If you want a short, but still very enjoyable walk and a chance to see a number of wild animals then from the car parks you can easily reach Squeaky Beach, Whiskey Bay or Picnic Bay – these are great short walks
	Walk along Squeaky Beach – it gets its name from the sound of the sands under your feet as you walk along the beach, why don’t you try and see if it’s true?
For 360 degree view climb Mount Oberon – It takes about two hours return, but you will be well rewarded with superb views and a fantastic feeling of being on top of an untouched world, well worth the hike!
	Capture the sunset at Whiskey Bay – grab your camera and slowly walk along to Whiskey bay and wait for the sun to set to take that magical picture.
	Oberon Bay loop – this is a great day walk that captures the essence of this area, it takes approximately 6-7 hours, but it’s well worth it.
