Arrived at Grampians Gardens, Tourist Park, Today. 03/13/2010

We arrived this afternoon, towing our Eco-tourer caravan, to Grampians Gardens Tourist Park
2223 Grampians Road, Halls Gap, Vic

We asked for a powered site out the back. I brought our one-meter long wireless internet antenna and while the signal is a low one, I am able to access the internet without any difficulty. It certainly has paid to have this extra antenna with us for these weak Telstra connection spots.

We set up camps and had our evening meal outside as we were reluctant to come inside the caravan with a mob of kangaroos grazing the lawns near us and a large flock of sulphur crested cockatoos, kookaburras and a family of wrens, three brown ones and a beautiful blue wren, nearby.

I have yet to meet the resident male emu and his six young babies. That is a treat, I am eager to see.

The mountains and clear air, are as beautiful as I remember them and tomorrow I will drive the 2 kilometers into Halls gap town and walk around there, go to the tourist information bureau and get a book on the walks in the Grampians then maybe drive to some of the lookouts, do these easy views tomorrow. Come back to our great base camp here at the Grampians Gardens, Tourist Park, and study the walks, choose some easy ones to start with and take it from there.
