Rest was not an option on Sunday as I went on a day trip to The Grampians, a range of hills 200km west of Melbourne. The drive there did allow more snoozing though. The Grampians rise up from the farmland of the Wimmera and offer staggering overlooks over the forest. Much of the forest however was burned in a bushfire in January, but it is encouraging to see how much it is rejuvenating. It was pretty windy and chilly up there, which helps explain the coat and the relatively frizzy hair…
This is the view from the Balconies lookout.
There are also some lakes and waterfalls in the park, this is McKenzie Falls.
Walking back up the (all too) many steps from the base of the falls, I came across this little guy – a Kookaburra.It was a long trip back through the town of Ararat for a brief bite to eat and then some more snoozing along the Western Highway to Melbourne.
