The Grampians

03/10/2011

This morning everyone was asleep when I left.  I was mildly annoyed as I tried to find my way to the station, having hardly got my bearings at all of the area.

I was very much looking forward to the Grampians tour, although the promise of more hiking didn't completely set my world on fire.

Our first stop was at Beaufort, a small town where we were given tea and cookies.

I had soon noticed a dramatic change to the scenary, and so very different to that of yesterday, as the area got far more foresty.
The Grampians were home to kangaroos, emus and lots of birds.  When we arrived there were kangaroos everywhere...sooo exciting!!  They are such lovely creatures.

The first walk was a lovely countryside walk, through the woods, where we also had the opportunity to understand more about the local culture.
After lunch we went on a more challenging hike to the Jaws of Death, with a view of the Mackenzie Falls.

I really loved the mist that was setting in, as it created such a different atmosphere to all my previous pictures.
Lovely!
