The Prom, that’s what the locals call Wilson’s Promontory. Located on the South East tip of Victoria, the southern most point of Australia’s mainland, Wilson’s Prom is a place of exceptional beauty. Many visit for the wonderful walks outdoors in the national park or for annual camping holidays with family and friends.
Others travel to Wilson’s Prom in times of quiet reflection and dreaming. Its beauty pervades our being. It is beyond words.
For Ian and Rosalie- lovers of the Prom.
In her introduction to this week’s travel theme, Ailsa, from Where’s My Backpack referred to Henry Thoreau’s ‘Walden’. I was delighted to be reminded of this contemplation on simple living after so many years. I recall reading this many years ago as a student and remember thinking at the time that it was rather self-indulgent and tedious. Even though I am much older now and hopefully wiser, and definitely more opinionated, I still think this is the case.
As for the theme, simplify, this is something that we should all reflect upon from time to time. Time spent at Wilson’s Promontory, Victoria, Australia gives the visitor time to live simply, walk, enjoy native flora and fauna and beautiful rock formations like the one below.
