Wilsons Promontory is rather isolated, and the closest town is Yanakie located 36 km north of Tidal River. Yanakie is very small, and is primarily consists of a general store and the Promhill Cabins. The settlement at Tidal River, however, does have a general store, café, fish and chip shop, open-air cinema (summer months only), post boxes and public telephones.

—Havelock Ellis (1859–1939)
“That civilisation may not sink,
Its great battle lost,”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
