Not far from Horsham is the incredible Grampians National
Park. Steph and I packed lunch and set off for some hiking and waterfall
action. It was my very first trip to the Grampians and I couldn’t wait to start
planning my next trip almost as soon as we had arrived. It is quite something.
Last summer the whole area was devastated by some massive
bush fires and the area where we were was obviously still on the road to
recovery, going through the extraordinary path that the Aussie bush tackles a
lot. Because of the fires it was a
little bare at ground level and there were ‘furry’ trees are far as the eye
could see. Blackened trees with
fresh leaves.
Our first stop on our hike was near McKenzie Falls, a
stunning water fall. It was a
great day for hiking and the walk down to the base of the waterfall was packed
with families and visitors. Steph and I were both thrilled to see so many
people because there is always a fear that after a fire people will stop
visiting.
McKenzie Falls is possibly one of most beautiful places I
have ever had the pleasure of seeing and I’m already so excited to head back
for more hikes and some camping as soon as possible.
From the waterfall we made our ways into the town of Halls Gap.
Halls Gap is a small town right inside the Grampians. It is adorable, and on a day that was
sunny but not too hot it was perfect to grab an ice cream at the famous ice
cream shop and sit by the creek in the sunshine.
I adored my weekend, and like most trips for this blog – I
cant wait to visit again really really soon!
