The Big Drift, Wilsons Prom
Discover the natural beauty of this hidden gem waiting to be explored!
This stunning dune system is a must-visit destination for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.
The Big Drift is a vast expanse of dunes that stretches as far as the eye can see and this unique landscape is the result of thousands of years of wind and sand erosion, which has sculpted the dunes into a mesmerizing array of shapes and sizes.
As you wander through the dunes, you'll feel like you're walking on another planet – the sheer scale and beauty of the landscape is breathtaking (you may even get to see some wildlife along the way).
The Big Drift offers several hiking trails of varying difficulty, allowing you to explore the dunes at your own pace. Take a stroll along the beach, or challenge yourself with a hike to the top of the dunes for panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
Be sure to bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and a hat to protect yourself from the elements.
· Wear comfortable shoes or hiking boots to tackle the sandy terrain.
· Keep an eye out for wildlife and respect their habitat.
· Take your rubbish with you and leave the dunes as you found them.
