Default Re: The Camping Thread

Apologies for the picture heavy post. Even then, it just can't do the Grampians justice. hopefully it won't be 2 years between visits next time.

My favourite sign at the park (which I didn't get a picture of) was on the exit, which said 'Travelling leaves you speechless and then makes you a story teller'. So so true.

Anyway, here's a picture story of our stay.
The facilities really were better than some apartments I've stayed in. Heated at all times. Music playing. Only thing they can't control is the feral element in society, so like any shared facility, it was often left in less than desirable condition for the next person (mainly the toilets).




view from our site. we were on the perimeter of the park, but there are no fences. simply awesome. That paddock is usually covered in 'roos as well.


Some more local wildlife. I didn't try to get too close to these guys.


Views from top of Mt William. Tallest peak in Grampians (and western vic I believe). Windy as hell up the top. 2km walk from the carpark to the summit up a bitumen service rd, but very steep in parts. I'd guess a gradient close to 20% in parts. Took us 45min mainly due to the 10yr old



view from the camp kitchen area. Everywhere you look is stunning views.


random rock formation on one of the walks.


Plenty of wildlife. We bought some sunflower seeds from the supermarket. The cockies got a bit aggressive though so had to be careful. They would literally bite your ankles trying to get your attention. we all have some nice reminders. Feeding the Rosella's was cool.





Mackenzie Falls


Balconies


If you have kids that are after a 'thrill a minute' type holiday, then Halls Gap probably won't offer you very much (although there is a Big4 park there) but for those wanting to enjoy the Flora and Fauna and scenery etc, this is a must visit place.
