Information
Mount Oberon offers one of the best views in Victoria. Trek to the summit overlooking Tidal River and enjoy views of the Prom's spectacular landscape, from its pristine coastline and beautiful offshore islands, to its lush gullies and magnificent mountains.Starting at Telegraph Saddle Carpark, you simply walk up a gravel road to Mt Oberon via a steady incline as it weaves up the mountain. As you near the peak, a steep but short climb up steps (with handrails) will lead you to the rocky summit.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.You can see 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 for the way down. Equally beautiful at any time of day however.
