Damien and I went to the prom for the weekend(wilson's promontory). We got in a bit before sunset so we were able to enjoy some time at the campsite before dinner and star gazing. Saturday morning we woke up early and started on our long run/hike. We took a turnoff 200m in to go to a lookout. The view was spectacular.

But we had to bush bash back down to our track to continue on our way.

 We ran along a dirt road in the sun for 15km until we reached the eastern coast. 

Luckily there was plenty of wild life to keep us entertained.

The next bit of the the trail was very dense. There was a path for our feet but the shrubs were growing all around. About an hour later we made it to our next beach.

After the second beach we were back to very dense path, that disappeared. We tried to bash through for about 2 hours before realising that it was getting late and we weren't going to be able to finish the loop, so we turned back. 

The sun began to set as we made it back down the long stretch of road.

We made it back around 7:30 and had a very quick dinner before collapsing into bed. 

Sunday morning we were supposed to run a half marathon but I got cold feet and we did a 10km instead. It was out to tongue point and the views were stunning.

We ran the whole thing together. I was 3rd female but Damien was first male so he got a flashlight. After the race we spent a few more hours in the prom looking at the southern most mangroves in the world. I was so happy. 

We headed back to Melbourne via a few wineries. We were hoping for lunch but with the busy weekend they were mostly sold out of food.
