What looked like bird crap on the rocks from a distance was actually Intertidal Tubeworm Colonies.

This time round the road up to Telegraph Saddle was open so I drove as far South as you can on the Australian Mainland.

I then drove down to the Tidal River Campground and set up camp.

I left Wilsons Promontory and headed to Walkerville North for a look passing a funny sign.
Walking along the beach i spotted a structure and went to have a look, turned out to be Lime Kilns.
