The Grampians - by Andrew

The Grampians  by Andrew.

We came to The Grampian National Park today. We came from Stawell all the way to Halls Gap and then to the Wonderland carpark. We had the caravan hitched and so we had to find a long park for it. Dad had to do a tricky reverse into the long vehicle car space. Then we went on a 2 hour bushwalk to The Pinnacles.  It seemed a very long way and we had to climb thousands of rocks on the way up. We walked through a place called the Grand Canyon. We had to go through a valley and then up some very steep stairs.  When we came down, we had to walk backwards down the stairs. It was really windy at the top. We saw a lady who had slipped on the rocks and hurt her forehead on the way up. Some people were helping her get bandaged up. We saw blood on the rock and on the ground.
Dad took lots of photos of the Pinnacles. I liked it up there; it was a really good view.
On the way down we stopped and had lunch. After we finished our bushwalk, we went to Halls Gap and had a treat.  Georgia and I had Ice blocks and Mum and Dad had coffee.
Then we drove to Wannon Creek camping ground in the National Park. The pit toilets are a bit smelly, but the camp site is good. We had to wait until the rain stopped so we could put the caravan and get everything done. Then we played cards and soccer and threw a football around.
After that we had dinner and played another game of cards.  Then Mum said time for bed but it’s still light. So I asked if I could do some blogging.  Mum said “yes”.

Thanks for reading.

ADELAIDE/VICTOR HARBOUR

  • We have just arrived in victor harbour. It is a very pretty beach maybe that is why dad has gone crazy on pictures. But first I’m going to talk about Adelaide, It was almost like being back in Sydney, traffic ,noise we went to see our second cousin, jenny, when we first arrived at her house the first thing that I heard was a bark. Then jenny’s voice we had never seen her before but we had a great time at her house. We played pool, table tennis and had a good meal of roast chicken and chips. Her dog, jay was the liveliest dog I have ever seen, we all had a great time in Adelaide. After all the boring towns we ended up in victor harbour which is 20 minutes from Goolwa the mouth of the Murray River, which was our previous stop. It is nice and breezy and quiet we went on a walk around town. Dad makes us do this every town we go to it’s really boring but I got an ice-block out of it. I miss you all and remember celebrate my birthday on the 8th of januaryi mean it!!!!
