Hall's Gap to Buandik Campsite, The Grampians - 125 Km

Eastern Grey Kangaroo

THURSDAY 8 JANUARY 2009

We set off on a 4WD track, but it was closed so we went back to the Brambuk Centre to get an up to date list of passes that are open. We drove from Hall’s Gap to the Buandik Campsite on 4WD tracks, passing through some of the areas that had been devastated in the fire of January 2006 and are still recovering. A couple of Emus ran in front of us. 

We walked from the campsite to the Billimina Shelter, a massive overhanging rock, which was a very important aboriginal site and contains aboriginal art. We saw a few kangaroos on the way and a couple where we were camped. There were a lot of Kookaburras near the campsite and one sat on our kettle!
