Started out on the great ocean road again. Stopped a few more times to see some other rock formations. They had some good stories to them. Drove into the Grampians. We had the option of doing a 2 hour walk or a 1 hour walk. Nearly everyone did the 2 hour walk. Its takes you up the side of the mountain and overlooks the valley at the top. The walk wasn't hard. Very rocky but it didn't bother me we all had hiking boots except for the British girls who had plimsolls on. Stupid. Was amazed at the top. View was incredible.
Got on the bus to a aboriginal centre. We watched a video on the origin of the Grampians. If you think the bible is far fetched you ain't heard nothing yet. Apparently they were formed by a giant angry emu. He chased a bird through the mountains and created the valley. Then he was killed by the people and his blood became the river. Its just stupid. But apparently the story is told through the stars.
went to our accommodation in the centre of the Grampians. We bought some more drinks. 2 boxes of wine called The Goon, so famous its has been given the name THE goon. The stuff is lethal. I woke up with no recollection of what happened only that me and the polish guy and the french guy finished a 4 litre box between us. I fell asleep outside and the Polish guy fell asleep throwing up in the toilet. The Swedish women Isabelle made our bed and then helped us get to them. She was very sweet. I think we all underestimated The Goon. Will be staying away from that in future. I slept like a baby...
