Foraging for Vegan Treats

Beach hopping ain't a bad lifestyle. On a grey and drizzly morning we drove out to Wilsons Promontory for a look. The peninsula is the last remnant of a land bridge to Tasmania that only disappeared a few thousand years ago. Certainly a beautiful slice of National Park, but the weather and our need to get to Sydney reasonably quickly left things a little underwhelming (plus the landscape is very reminiscent of southwest WA, something we are quite familiar with... and Tasmania
