This morning we drove for about an hour. We did not see another car but we did see kangaroos, wallabies and giant sized eagles! As we approached Halls Gap in the northern Grampians this all changed ... It was a busy little spot packed with people visiting for the weekend. There was an aboriginal cultural centre which we looked around and a large visitors centre.
We decided to take a short hike, so made our way to the start, which was the Wonderland carpark. The signpost pointed us in the right direction for the Pinnacle, so off we went.
The track was difficult with many large boulders to negotiate. We passed through an area called the Grand Canyon and squeezed our way through another named Silent Street. Reaching the top was great. The views over the plains were wonderful. The viewing platform seemed to hang, hundreds of metres up, over the valley. Looking down was pretty scary!
We headed back to the car for lunch before trying to find a quiet place to camp for our last night in Australia. We found a remote bush camp which was great. It came with it's own diving kookaburra, who obviously wanted help Christine at Scrabble!
