It rained most of the night but we woke to a chorus of birds and sunshine. We had breakfast accompanied by many Musk Lorikeets then ventured off to find dormant volcanoes and other geological features. Travelling through scenic farmland and steep hills, we are glad to see that many farmers have kept their ancient eucalypts on their properties, they are wildlife condominiums.

We find another memorial to Adam Lindsay Gordon a poet, and seems his horsemanship is respected and recorded as well.

It’s waterfalls today, Wannon and Negritta Falls on the Wannon River are both worthy of a visit, rain has meant there is a reasonable flow over the falls.

Lunch is at Hamilton and, like many country towns it seems to be struggling so any money that can be put back into these communities must help.

The last geological feature is the Grampians Mountains they are an awesome sight as we approach them. Magnificent peaks and cliffs. Parts of the park have been badly damaged by bushfires Dec 24 / Jan 25 but we still found Sundew flowers and Orchids as we walk the track to the Silverband Falls just south of Halls Gap.
