Highlights

  • Travel to Wilsons Promontory – the largest national park in Victoria. Walk through the temperate rainforest and visit Squeaky Beach, known for its rounded quartz sand that squeaks when you walk on it.

  • Venture into the wilderness of the Atherton Tablelands – take a dip in a magnificent plunge waterfall nestled in dense tropical rainforest and admire the blue-green hues of Lake Eacham.
