I decide to still head for Wilsons Promontory even though I'm running nearly eight hours later than planned, and I'm an hour farther away. The drive down isn't exciting. The highlight was stopping for diner at Mc Donald's (which would have been a lot more of a highlight if I hadn't had lunch there as well). Got to the park around 7:30, but still had another 30 km to go before getting to the camp ground. The drive was slow because there are a lot of kangaroos and wombats on the road - it's actually pretty stressful. A few kilometers before the camp site I have to pull off for the most incredible sunset (must have taken fifteen photos) - very pink behind this perfect little mountainous island. Pull in the the camp ground and find a site - there are wombats everywhere and they completely ignore people. They look like bear cub sized beavers with koala-like faces. Hung out with the campsite next door (two Canadian guys, an English, and a Dutch) drinking port and talking about traveling (they'd all spent time in Asia, and one of the Canadians had been all around Australia over the last year).
