Halls Gap & Grampians National Park VIC

Here is the Princess, Sam, & Joey @ the Pinnacle Lookout platform. Quite high and juts out so the viewer gets a panoramic view of the area below...










This is the awesome view from Pinnacle Lookout. Looking back towards Halls Gap and surrounding countryside. It's not hard to see why this place is one of the most popular in the Grampians...





This shot is of Granite Peak, one of the many tree lined peaks in the Grampians. The area was burnt out by bushfires in 2005. It's amazing to see how well and quickly the bush has recovered...





This is Lake Bellfield Dam which supplies the water for Halls Gap and surrounds. Completed in 1966...






A couple of nippers hiding in the bush near the base of the waterfall...still smiling which we are grateful for!!






Tom & the boys at the base of a very unusual waterfall. It's name is Silverband, apparently because of the colours it displays. The unusual feature is that it 'disappears' underground at the base, and reappears at the surface downstream.








We left Warrnambool and headed inland towards Halls Gap in the centre of the Grampians National Park. This shot shows Mt Surprise in the foreground and Mt Abrupt in the background.
