Sunset at Whiskey Bay – Wilsons Promontory National Park

On Friday I went down to Wilsons Promontory National Park, or The Prom as its affectionately known, for a spot of camping.  Over 50000 hectares in size The Prom is the southern most tip of mainland Australia, and has been a national park since the late 1890s.

Unfortunately the camping didn’t exactly turned out as I had hoped as it was school holidays (which I forgot about) and it seemed like every body in Melbourne had the same idea; needless to say it was extremely crowded!  Nevertheless it was too good an opportunity to let it go to waste, so I headed out to Whiskey Bay to see what the nights sunset had in store.

This first shot was taken while the sun was just above the horizon.

This second one was taken over 45 minutes later once the sun had gone and it was almost dark.

While the camping may not have been great, the chance to visit Wilsons Prom and do some photography was too good an opportunity to pass up.
