Southwest Coast of Wilsons Promontory

Has anyone here walked the Southwest coast of Wilsons Prom? I'm referring to the section of coastline between Oberon Bay and South Point.
I vaguely recall hearing about a VMTC trip to Sea Eagle Bay in the 1970s but cannot find any record of it. Also, Graeme Wheeler's book Walk the Timeless Land makes mention of the Southwest Coast but doesn't have a lot of information.
Any information would be appreciated, although I suspect a walk there will be pretty much exploratory.
Thanks

Pretty sure Easton has details for a coastal waterfall south of Roaring Meg in one of his books but that is east of South Point and probably of little use.

The waterfall is Roaring Meg. Water roaring over a drop and all that after rain.
Not that I advocate going looking for it. Or that I've thought about doing that, often....

A long time ago ('70's) I walked along the rocks south of Oberon Bay some distance. No pack. It wasn't that hard, occasional bits that had to be navigated around. I only went, at the most, a km. I always wanted to go back and attempt more but.....

There actually used to be a track down Roaring Meg Creek from the campsite to Fenwick Bight. It got pretty rugged at the cascades. I think the track is long gone.
