Exploring Wilsons Prom 

We walked to Squeaky Beach, where we passed wallabies and saw giant orange and granite boulders that lined the walking track. Once there, we took off our shoes and enjoyed the squeaky noises our toes made in the sand.

We ventured to Walkerville, where we were greeted by a quiet bay and the bluest ocean. We quickly popped on wetsuits, collected our snorkels and entered the water. As we snorkeled our way around the point, we took a moment to explore the large cave and rockpools before returning to shore for lunch.

Our afternoon activity was the boat charter to Skull Rock. We gathered at the meeting point where we collected our oversized coats and listened to the safety brief. The Mentors jumped into the front seats, knowing full well they would be the bumpiest and wettest seats on offer. As the boat rolled into the water and the engines took off, we realised this wasn’t going to be the usual slow sight-seeing tour.

As we bounced over the waves, the spray soaked those seated at the front, and squeals and laughter followed. Between the thrilling bursts of speed, we paused to take in the spectacular surroundings, enormous bird nests perched high on rocky cliffs and seal colonies resting along the shoreline.

This Mentor adventure wasn’t just about visiting beautiful places. It was about shared experiences, building confidence, strengthening friendships and creating memories that will stay with us for years to come.
