Buandik Campsite, The Grampians to Kiata Campsite, Little Desert - 216 Km

McKenzie Falls
Aboriginal hand paintings, Manja Shelter



FRIDAY 9 JANUARY 2009

Kangaroos came to watch us in the campsite in the morning. We visited the Manja shelter, which has some of the best aboriginal hand paintings in Victoria, and then drove through the Grampians on 4WD tracks.  

The track became too steep and rocky and I was worried the van would turn over (I did all the driving) so we retraced our steps and found another route. We walked to the magnificent McKenzie falls which Mitchell discovered on his 1836 trek.

We bought some supplies in Horsham before driving through the Little Desert, arriving at the Kiata basic campsite about 5.30 p.m. A possum came to visit just before we went to bed.


WILDLIFE: Eastern Grey Kangaroos, 3 Emus, Possum, Sulpher Crested, Cockatoos, Galahs, Possum, Crimson Rosella, Green Parrot.
