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 soLeggi altro
ViaggiatoreNo. 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 CanyonLeggi altro
ViaggiatoreAside 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!

After getting info of recent grading of the Meereenie loop road we set off the Alice via Hermannsburg. Not quite a highway as described and it certainly had its moments but we survived the 140ks ofLeggi altro

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 hillyLeggi altro
ViaggiatoreI agree. There's still a couple of spots that haven't fully opened yet but there still is plenty to do
ViaggiatoreGee 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.
ViaggiatoreApparently 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.
ViaggiatoreI 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
