RV TRAVEL
Or why not take the short walk along the beach at nearby Walkerville to the ruins of the Walkerville lime kilns ? In the late 19th century , about 80 men dug limestone , worked the kilns and bagged lime here . When demand for lime dropped off in 1926 , the kilns were closed .
Finally , try the 6km Point Smythe Walk , which winds through coastal teatree and banksia to the beach at Point Smythe , a jagged edge of land with Andersons Inlet on one side and Bass Strait on the other .
The gravel access road is also suitable for 2WD vehicles .
Bear Gully is literally behind the dunes .
Communal fire rings are provided .
BACK AT BEAR GULLY
Returning to Bear Gully after a day exploring Cape Liptrap , spend the evening on the beach with a sundowner , some nibbles and good company . Afterwards , light a fire in one of the communal fire rings , spot some nocturnal wildlife , and enjoy the sound of the waves so close to your van .
Bear Gully and Cape Liptrap really are worth exploring , especially when the more-popular Wilsons Prom is booked out but , truthfully , even when it ’ s not . They have their own special something to offer . Being so close to the Prom , why not call into Cape Liptrap and park the van at Bear Gully as part of a wider exploration of the south Gippsland region ?
