That’s a 400k round trip from Springy which would set me back about $80 in fuel alone. $99 seems okay tbh.

Was recommended a Meetup group that is doing a day trip to Wilson’s Prom for $99. They go to the Big Drift, Tidal River, Mt Oberon, Squeaky Beach, and the wildlife park. I’m thinking perhaps this could be aimed at people who are new-ish to Melbourne, want to travel in a group and/or don’t have a car. It just seems a bit pricey, but maybe that’s how much fuel would cost. Would only do it for the group aspect.

Does the price include food and wildlife park entry fees etc.??? Sounds reasonable for a biggish day trip like that. Also wildlife park is maybe petting zoo? So people can see a roo/koala/wombat up close and personal for selfie purposes? Petrol is probably the smallest part for multiple people in one car/minivan/minibus.

I think it includes entry to the parks! Also would be good to have someone else drive me.

Mt Oberon is a 2 hour hike… thats alot to fit in a day trip.
