As part of a very ambitious weekend that my travel crew and I set up, we spent Saturday, January 13, driving to, and experiencing the Grampians.
This day was one of the most amazing of my life - and I've had some amazing times so this must have been special.
We started the day driving to different portions of the National Park. We first headed to the Balconies, which I'm guessing described the rock formations that were adjacent to the lookout we were standing next to. The picture shown here is one of the most famous shots associated with the Grampians.Next we headed to MacKenzie Falls -
we hit a few small waterfalls along the way, but MacKenzie Falls feeds the water supply for one of the larger towns in the Grampians, so even in the midst of the crazy heat we were experiencing, it was still running. This is one of the better shots I got with the camera, messing around with different functions. What I love most about this picture is that it was taken in regular color, but look as if it were taken in black and white.The next part of the trip is beyond my comprehension as I look back at it. We said we'd be doing some hiking, but I never expected what I experienced that day. We began to scale Hollow Mountain, or Mt. Wudjub-Guyan, as it is properly named.
Besides the fact that I never realized I was capable of hiking or climbing anything, after we reached the pinnacle of this mountain, I realized I was capable of a heck of a lot more than I thought. The climb was easy at parts, extremely difficult at other parts, and amazingly rewarding when I reached the top. (P.S. I'm now a hiking addict)
At the end of the day we headed for the Great Ocean Road - which is too beautiful to start explaining to you now - but en route we found a new friend....
This little guy moved so fast I'm amazed we even got him standing still this long! Here is the link to the rest of our shots from the Grampains...more updates soon from the Great Ocean Road!
More updates soon...mwahhhhhhhhhhhh
