Thursday, 14 February 200808.12 Grampians: Mount William Sunset
The highest point in the Grampians is Mount William, so where better to watch the sunset?! It was an 10kms drive up a steep and very twisty road, followed by a 2kms march - Joanna still had her Melbourne legs on her!!

08.12 Grampians: Mount Arapiles
Having pretty much completed all of the North Grampians tourist sights we decided to head to Victoria's own Uluru, Mount Arapiles. This is a very popular spot for rockclimbers and abseilers! Mount Arapiles is also home to a fire-watch tower overlooking the Grampians and all the way to the South Australia border!
 This was our initial greeting to Mt Arapiles!  Looking over the salt lakes of the wetlands. In the distance you can see a fire burning on South Australia border. The fire-watch person said that there were 20,000 hectares burning, but it was now under control. There was so much smoke that you couldn't see the Grampians! The car filled with ash as he had a drink in Horsham!!  Labels: grampians, joanna, mount_arapiles, nathan, north_grampians, photos, victoria, visitors

08.12 Grampians: Ngamadjidj Shelter
After a picnic stop at Zumstein, and a quick look at Wartook Lake we headed even further north to the Ngamadjidj Shelter to view the Aboriginal rock paintings.
 A typical aussie road scene! Well, this is what we came across as we headed to the Shelter! These are the painting from the Shelter. This was the only way to the Shelter!Labels: grampians, ngamadjidj_shelter, north_grampians, photos, victoria, visitors, zumstein

08.12 Grampians: Reed Lookout & The Balconies
The next stop was Reed Lookout, where you park and take the short walk to The Balconies for views over the Victoria Valley.
      The walk from Reeds Lookout took us past some rocky outcrops and there was supposed to be a walk through a stringybark forest, but obviously we had been beaten by bush fires again!Labels: grampians, north_grampians, photos, reed_lookout, the_balconies, victoria, victoria_valley, visitors

Today was going to be a day exploring the North Grampians and doing all the tourist sights along the way. Our first port of call was the Boroka Lookout, looking back towards Halls Gap and Lake Bellfield where we walked the evening before!
