Prom Wildlife Viewing Area (Wilsons Promontory National Park)

The Prom Wildlife Viewing Area is a great location to spot kangaroos, wallabies, wombats and emus. Please don't tempt them closer with food as they can become a danger to you and the human food a danger to their health.

Visitor Tips: Visitors are advised to pull off to the side of the road when viewing wildlife. There are no toilets here; the closest are 5km away at Darby River carpark.
