+Jill and I chose our accommodations in Boolara as the closest we could find near Wilsons Prom and it was a great setting for us. In the morning, we drove to the neighboring town Mirboo North to go to a chocolate and coffee place called
Dalliance. Sadly it is closed on Tues and Wed so no luck for us.

We ended up at a bakery down the street to get coffee and I spotted rum balls (which took some describing to me in the thick accent) as well as these crazy layered donut cakes with cream that were irresistible. This led to us chatting with a group of local ladies for 10-15 minutes. They were impressed with our itinerary and wished us well.

Off we drove to "
the Prom". Our planned directions went down the drain due to a road closure and our detour took us on dirt roads. This was slow going and took us over an hour to get back onto sealed roads again. It was slow going albeit beautiful along the way.

Our plan had been to hike Telegraph Saddle to Sealers Cove on the East side of the Prom. Unfortunately they had severe floods and it's been closed due to the repair work that is ongoing. We didn't really suffer though. We walked around the Tidal River area and all the way to Whisky Bay and back - about 8 1/2 miles total. Our pics say it all - it is a gorgeous area to stare at and enjoy.

We had a great time including walking on the sand at Squeaky Beach where it truly does squeak beneath your feet.
