Information
Starting at Telegraph Saddle Carpark, the walk up to the summit of Mt Oberon makes a steady incline as it weaves up the mountain via a gravel road. As you near the peak, a steep climb up steps will lead you to the rocky summit.
The 6.8km return hike to Mt Oberon takes around two hours (1.5hrs for fast walkers).
Be prepared for all weather conditions. Even in summer, Mt Oberon weather can be windy, cool and cloudy. Take care at the summit and beware of unprotected cliffs.
Standing 558m high, Mt Oberon offers incredible views over Wilsons Prom. See sparkling turquoise water and picturesque islands scattered off the coast. Along the shore, spot the beautiful bays on Wilsons Prom’s western coast; Little Oberon Bay, Norman Bay, Leonard Bay, Picnic Bay and Whisky Bay.
Enjoy scenic views over Tidal River Campground and trace the river as it weaves through coastal heath to the sandy shores of Norman Beach. Further inland, admire the rolling peaks of forested mountains.
Look south towards the southern-most tip of Australia's mainland, which is home to an abundance of native wildlife including wombats, emus, kangaroos and echidnas. Explore the southern section of Wilsons Prom on longer hikes if you get the chance.
Hike to Mt Oberon later in the day for one of the best best spots to watch the sunset at Wilsons Prom, but don't forget to bring a torch.
