Access issues inherited from Wilson's Promontory

A free permit is required to climb in this National Park. This can be obtained from the information center. If the ranger is unsure about the permit tell them it is at the far right of their counter (there are lots of casual rangers working here who are unsure of all the processes). It is a simple form to fill out solely for emergency purposes. Parks Victoria only recognizes the following locations as climbing areas at the Prom:

-Mt Bishop

-Elephant Rock

-Mt Oberon

-Little Oberon (Trackside Wall)

-Turtle Rock.

There are no access issues for bouldering at beaches.

Ethic inherited from Wilson's Promontory

  • Be friendly and respectful to other park users, and especially to any Park Rangers
  • Please respect camping and no-fire rules
  • NO BOLTS - Bolting is prohibited within Wilsons Prom
  • Brush ticks
  • Keep all off-track activities to a minimum
  • Chipping holds or marking the start of climbs is prohibited
  • 'Gardening' is prohibited (removal or damage to vegetation on climbs)
  • Access the cliffs using existing paths and if appropriate descend by abseil rather than scrambling

UPDATED 2024: Projects will remain closed for one year from the date of upload. If not completed after one year, the route is open for others to attempt.
