The track I just ran up!!
Morning sunlight shining over Mt Wilson, looking back down the hill I just ran up!! |
|
|
|
Burnt out track
All the whole track looks like this - burnt out trees and vegetation; very sparse |
|
|
|
|
More burnt area on top of plateau
The trees up here were smaller and scrubby-like, which makes this view very barren |
|
|
|
Lighthouse trakc turnoff
The road finishes about 200m further on, and from this point it's 3.1km along the coastline to the lighthouse |
|
|
|
Bass Strait Island
Don't know it's name, but just one of the islands off the south coast of Wilsons Prom |
|
|
|
More Islands
The lighthouse is just off the left edge of this photo |
|
|
|
The lighthouse
It is spectacular on a knoll jutting out into the ocean. A stunning sight from here. |

Closer to the lighthouse
Looking down and along the rocky knoll |

View towards Waterloo Bay
Looking from lighthouse area along the east coast of Wilsons Prom. And me!! |

Track to South Point - burnt out
This part of the track is easy to see(!!) - other parts were far more covered in burnt banches, trees and debris |
|

South Point
Looking towards Wattle Island with the coast on the right |

The bottom of Mainland Australia
Hard to get to but the significance of this sign makes it all worthwhile |

Driftwood at South Point
My dad would love this wood - heaps of large planks washed up on the rocks |
|
|

South Point panorama
Actual South Point in front centre, with a couple of islands just off the coast |

Back at the car park after an epic and spectacular run, ready to put my feet up... |
