Halls gap, the grampians

I left Melbourne at 9 this morning and via a combination of train and buses arrived at my hostel in halls gap at 1:30.  The scenery along the trip was basically flat, boring nothing to see.  iPod zone out time…

Once in Halls Gap though, you are in the Grampians mountains and the view is much better.  The weather was perfect so I went straight out hiking to one of the surrounding lookout points.

I played around with my camera quite a bit and it seems to be taking good images, so I’m happy about that.  This place really is isolated, no real cities anywhere near, meaning food etc is expensive so I brought enough food (and wine) for my 3 days here with me. My bags will way about half as much on the way back to Melbourne I reckon.
