From the Great Ocean Road, we headed inland to the Kangaroo country. Our next destination was Hall's Gap a small town in the Grampians National Park. Grampians National Park is renowned for its breathtaking rocky views, rich Aboriginal culture, superb wildflowers , many birds and kangaroos.
Along the way, the yellow "Kangaroo" road sign could be seen every 30-40 kms.
Driving in Australia's countryside is easy and relaxing as majority of the roads are generally reliable and in good condition.
There was nothing much to see except farm lands.
Approaching the Grampians National park.
We checked in this Log cabin
It was very quiet at the reception however when we entered the area, the whole place was alive with wild Kangaroos and other wildlife.
We were greeted by this kangaroo with her baby in the pouch.
The Emus.
Our Log Cabin
The lounge area with a fire place.
This self-contained unit came with cooking facilities.
A comfortable bed for the night.
In the morning, this Magpie was our alarm clock. It was outside our bedroom door cooing for food. I guessed it usually got it's breakfast from guests staying here.
Kangaroos in the morning having their breakfast in the field next to our cabin.
A toasted bread for this hungry kangaroo.
A quarrel broke out between these two.
Though our originally plan was to stay 2 nights, we left the Grampians National Park later in the day without exploring the places of interest. The Visitor Information Centre in Hall's Gap informed us that most of the area in the park were not accessible as many roads were still under repair after the big flood in the early months of the year. The clearing of landslides containing, mud, trees and giant boulders are still being carried out.
