This is an excellent 36ish km loop in the beautiful Wilson's Promontory National Park.
Start at Telegraph Saddle and head east along the track towards Sealers Cove. From Sealers Cove follow your nose south to Refuge Cove, then over towards Little Waterloo Bay.
At the top of the climb out of Refuge Cove, take a small out and back to the summit of Kersop Peak.
About 1km past Little Waterloo Bay, take the turnoff west to Telegraph Junction. If you don't take the turnoff and continue further south along the coast, this will make this a ~60km run.
At Telegraph Junction, head back north to the Telegraph Saddle carpark.
This trail includes the peak Kersop Peak.
Lots of amazing beaches and wildlife around the National Park.
There are toilets at Telegraph Saddle, Sealers Cove, Refuge Bay and Little Waterloo Bay
There is limited parking at Telegraph Saddle Carpark - you may need to take a shuttle bus here.
