Day 2




We had a great first day in the Grampians. It was a cold night, in the morning our milk and even the baked beans were frozen! Here i was worrying the fridge wouldnt be cold enough! After a cosy sleep in our snug little van we woke up to warbling magpies and kangaroos grazing nearby. When we went over to check them out more there were 2 big males having a punch on much to our excitement!! We sat and explored out the back of the caravan park for ages where theres a big rocky outcrop overlooking the whole park. After a cooked brekky of eggs on toast and baked beans with hot milo and an hour of school work, we headed off for our first bush walk to the Pinnacle. Just beautiful. Not an easy walk on the lungs and legs though! 2 1/2 ks up hill over rocks and up steps and steep hills but so worth it. It started to rain as we approached the top and increasingly got heavier on the way back. By the time we reached the car again we decided it was time to go into the cute little town of Halls Gap for a hot chocolate and then head home to cosy up and read and watch a movie. The heater works a treat in the van too thank goodness!
More homework, dinner and showers.. happy days!
