The Grampians
Day 5-6
The next leg of the trip brought us to North Victoria to the Grampian's National Park. It was goodbye to the coastal line and up to the mountains. This range definately had a certain uniqueness to it.
Our first day there saw us do several hikes, the highlight being Mackenzie falls which is featured on the picture to the left. Upon our return to our hostel, we were greeted by several Kangaroo's in our backyard lounging around looking for a bite to eat. 
Day 2 began bright and early (well 9am is early for me) and up to what was called the Pinacle mountain. Given that several people do this hike a day I was under the impression that it would be a nice brisk hike to the top.
Nice, it was... brisk it was not. Elevating to 250m, this 6 km hike definately was a bit of a challenge but the journey itself was the greatest part. That as well as sitting on top of the highest peak in the area overlooking the rest of the region.
As we are entering the heart of summer season, the heat is definately rising. Tip of the day is to continually keep hydrated and plenty of sunscreen!
Remember that there is a hole in the Ozone layer on top of this country.

happy new years guys. i have to say you two thrill me with every update. it seems during your stay every single rock and every single crevice has your fingerprints on it. whether it be a cacti in the outback or a clown fish in the barrier reef, you've seen, done, did it all. so tell me, how do you guys do it. don't you people work. i know the canadian dollar is worth more but come on, the difference is only good enough for exrta sprinkles on your sunday without it adversely hitting your wallet. so what are you guys really doing, hunting down kangaroo jack, smuggling coral, threatening to use dingos to eat babies for ransom. whatever it is, let me know. it is the new year and this is my opportunity to dog you out.
