It’s cool this morning but no rain. We head off to the MacKenzie Falls, this is a short walk providing excellent views and ample access to the wildflowers many of them orchids. The wildflowers are just beautiful and abundant. We see wallabies and the stand out bird was the Gang-gang Cockatoo.

It’s then a quick drive to Horsham to restock and have lunch. A friendly town with plenty of services.

Then onto Dimboola, a good community who have provided an interesting walk and bike way around the Wimmera River. The information Centre provided excellent information and service.

Camp tonight is The Horseshoe Bend Campground in Little Desert National Park on a meandering section of the Wimmera River. The campsite is quiet, plenty of native birds and it’s in a tiny section of the park not burnt out in Dec 24 / Jan 25. Just about all of the National Park to the west of here was devastated by those bushfires started by a dry lightning strike.
