Found some Kropfs down under! Mom and Dad came to visit for a couple of weeks and get a taste of Australia.
Grampians National Park is the next location on the journey around Australia. This is a national park in the western part of Victoria. It is about four hours west of Melbourne. Known for its waterfall (McKenzie Falls), hikes, and scenery, the park was ours for a couple of days. McKenzie Falls was impressive and the water was quite chilly! Next were a couple of walks to lookouts and hiking to Pinnacle Point. The hike to Pinnacle was probably one of the more interesting ones I have done. Being used to the eastern US hiking trails, this was nothing like what I hike at home. A more open, rocky hike is what we encountered, with poor weather and unique terrain all afternoon. The view at the top was well worth it, and we found some sun on the way down. On our last day we visited the Aboriginal Cultural Center and a rock art site with authentic Aboriginal drawings! After the rock art it was back to Melbourne for a couple days before Queensland on the weekend.
