The Big Drift, Wilsons Promontory

If you’re up for an adventure, this spot is for you.

Getting to the Big Drift is half the fun. Start with a scenic hike through lush greenery before the landscape suddenly transforms, and you’re greeted by towering dunes. Once you’re there, the possibilities are endless. Want to feel like a kid again? Race your friends up the dunes (prepare for some serious leg burn) or try sand boarding your way down. Fancy yourself a photographer? The shifting sands and golden light are a photographers best friend.

The Big Drift is feels like a different country. Most days you'll have it to yourself along with the views to Wilsons prom, Shallow inlet, and Waratah Bay.

Essentials: pack plenty of water, sunscreen, and sturdy shoes—there’s no shade out here, and the sand can get toasty.
