The Grampians

Day 3 took us into the Grampians – Halls Gap being a great base for several trails within the area. We went to S Falls, and then I did the Wonderland Loop Track (running the parts that were ‘runnable’ and walking the rest!) while Linda hiked up to the Pinnacles. My ‘loop’ took in Venus Baths, Elephant Hide, Slippery Steps, Grand Canyon, Pinnacles and Mackay Rock!! All really interesting and beautiful spots, while in total contrast to the Great Ocean Road. We then felt we deserved a true gelato-style ice-cream they had in Halls Gap…it was definitely worth it! On to Ararat where Linda’s brother (Philip) lives, so we had a real shower and a real bed, which was pretty nice...We went out to dinner at some friends of his, which was a really fun evening.
