We were there in 2007, but this past weekend, we took advantage of the Labour Day holiday to take the Dittmer elders to Wilson's Promontory. The traffic getting out of Melbourne was wilder than anything we saw at the Prom, although we did have to contend with the usual assortment of precocious wombats, possums and seagulls.
We lounged on the beach at Tidal River, climbed Mt Bishop, met some nice Gippsland boys at the barbie, and caught what can only be described as a chick flick at the outdoor cinema (where the wombats come around at intermission to nibble on your shoelaces). The highlight was the opportunity to get out from behind the wheel of the Getz for a weekend and cruise around in the relative luxury of a Nissan X-Trail. The low point was the weather change that rolled in around 3am Monday morning, bringing hot northerly winds that turned an otherwise pleasant night into a sweltering, and at times hair-raising, ordeal.
