Staying at Halls Gap in the heart of the Grampians. Came via Dunkeld where we saw a shop specialising in Kiwi match making. Pretty crazy weather expected but have found Rock Paper Scissors Brewery soWeiterlesen
ReisenderNo. I don't think the brewery was here when we did our ride. It's in the middle of town. The hotel where i got the punctures is just out of town - a short ride but a long run!

Lovely area and caravan park is right on doorstep of Kings Canyon. They have a sunset bar with live music so enjoyable start. Walked to Kathleen Springs and doing the rim walk of Kings CanyonWeiterlesen
ReisenderAside from the obvious natural beauty of the gorges the facilities at the resort are excellent and a bit more laid back than Uluru. Live music whilst watching the sunset over the ranges whilst enjoying a cold frothie- can't get any better than that!

Litchfield National Park
30. Mai 2023 in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
Did a quick trip out to have a look at Florence Falls and a swim at Buley Rock hole. Last time I was here was in 1990 with the kids and the road was gravel but don't remember the road traversing hillyWeiterlesen
ReisenderI agree. There's still a couple of spots that haven't fully opened yet but there still is plenty to do
ReisenderGee Gaz, nearly all of the swimming holes that you are in look identical to the ones we were in last year,and plenty of water as well.
ReisenderApparently it has taken a full wet season to fill the rock pools up since you were last in them! The upper pool (Tjaetaba Falls) was my favourite as well although the Buley rockpools were good as well.
ReisenderI think our favorite was Green Ant Hill, upper level. We have been there twice and would certainly go again,however,you wouldn't want to go over the edge

15. Juli 2023 in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 8 °C
Arrived home after a wet night in Sandy Cape. Went via Horrocks which was a really nice little coastal town. Been a great holiday but it's nice to be back.
ReisenderWe'll have to put that on our "to do" list. Weather looks good too!
ReisenderThe beach shot was of Port Elliott which is about 5ks to the east of Victor Harbour but is almost a suburb of Victor Harbour. A bit quieter. Great weather today but a bit of rain expected in the next day or so.
ReisenderGaz
ReisenderThe horse pulling that cart at Victor Harbor has been doing that for years now. He must be almost as ancient as you😄
ReisenderI can still pull a good crowd!
