The Big Drift
The Big Drift is a natural wonder hidden in the Northern section of Wilsons Prom. After An easy 2km walk from the Stockyard Campsite you’ll arrive at the bottom of a steep sandy hill. Trek up and over to emerge at vast inland sand dunes that appear never-ending.
Take a self-guided walk to explore this wild place. Other than the steep hill up onto the dunes, this walk is relatively easy but could also be extended if you venture far out into the dunes.

.We should be finished by about 3PM to start the drive home.
