Windproof layers and grippy shoes

Weather at the southern tip of mainland Australia changes fast, so pack a windproof jacket and layers. Closed shoes with good grip matter too; even the beach trails cross granite boulders.

Food at Tidal River is limited

Inside the park, food comes mainly from a general store at Tidal River. For that reason, most tours stop at a rural town on the way down from Melbourne.
