Wilsons Promontory is arguably Australia’s best known national park and home to the southernmost point of the mainland Australia. It was also the second port of call on our East Coast road trip, after Phillip Island (which you can read about in a previous post). Leaving the aforementioned Phillip Island on fairly grey and cold…

Mancora
6am in Mancora makes the place seem like a ghost town. The only people visible were a small number of tuk tuk drivers waiting to whisk us and our fellow travellers arriving on the overnight bus away to nearby hostels and hotels. After some debating we jumped in the back of one and were driven…
