Cruises from Sealers Cove, Wilsons Promontory
Sealers Cove is an uninhabited sandy bay on the east coast of Wilson's Promontory - aka The Prom - a peninsula that forms the most southerly point of mainland Australia. Local aboriginals hunted and collected shellfish there over 6000 years ago, and today it is one of the country's largest and most popular national parks. George Bass sighted the promontory on January 1798 from a small whaleboat while on an excursion from Port Jackson.
