Grampians Part THREE!

Oh remember the rain? It totally made the ground like EXTRA icy cold. Needless to say, we had an extremely hard time trying to get some much needed sleep.

"I wore close to 5 fleece jackets/hoodies and 2 pairs of socks."

And it did NOT work at all.

Really now, I think I shivered half the night away. All three of us was super duper cold.

orzorzorz

Oh, have I told you that our campsite happens to be on the hilly side? Which of course made it even colder to bear.

Morning couldn't have come soon enough, and boy, were we soooooooo glad the sun came out all bright and sunny. >o<

Lookies at our SUPERB spacious tent!
*coughthat'smeinbluecough*

After breakfast and dismantling our tent, we head to the meeting point for our last hike. I'm really surprised the tent made it through 2 nights without collapsing, because we build it using only torchlights in pitch black. hahaha XD

Stop number SIX: Mount William Carpark to Summit

Mt William is the highest peak of the Grampians. Supposedly you were able to drive all the way to the top of the summit ages back, but now it's closed, and you're forced to walk on tar roads all way up. Okay, not the way, only the bit towards the peaklar. =P

moar walking kyaaaaaaa!~

The view at the top!

Another one for the view~!

After that, we headed back to Hall's Gap for pizza, before beginning our 3 hours journey home to Melbourne and waved goodbye to our new friends.

Before you go, where's the wildlife in a National Park? Let me assure you that there are certainly animals there. We've seen wild emu and wallabies or kangaroo (whichever ones, both look similar to me <.<) Plus, we had a lot of *coughkangaroo/wallabypoocough* in the camping site itself, and even woke up to breakfast with 2 wallabies hanging around, minding their own business. Not to mentioned one had a near-death experience for running out onto the road and slipped, which was good it slipped or else, we would have *GASPS* murdered it!

Wallaby?

See that little sharp pointy tip? That's Mt William, we drove up and walked the rest of the way. =3

It was easily recognisable because Mt William had some sort of communications tower at the top.

On the way back, we ran into a potentially major problem.

"Situation:
P: I want a drink, can we stop to get my beer from the back?
L (who was driving): Sure."

*stops car at the side of the road*

The car refused to start after that. O.O

It was a lucky thing he brought along the little gadget to jump start the car, without having to manually use someone else's car to jump start.

The photo that was taken as P went to retrieve her beer. I really liked the colours in this one. <3

And that, my dears was the whole story. Lame and boring and long and horridly incoherent, but I really wanted to write down all the details to remember the awesome adventure I had. =P

I had sore thighs for days thanks to all the walking/hiking we did.

What I did to myself on Day one. I R SMART!

"I didn't even know, until I saw blood on my camera strap. orz""

PS: If you're wondering why I didn't put up more pictures of me, it's errr....I don't quite like to put photos of myself in public, anyone can access blogspotmar. But if you wanna see more, buzz me on msn or something, and I'll upload more on photobucket for you dears to see, ya? XD
