Burra, SA

Star Rating:★★

★=Full Star☆=Half a Star

At Burra we spent the afternoon at the skatepark, it was really fun. After the skate park we went for a walk around town. The next morning we left early. We camped at Little Desert National Park (VIC) that night and went for a couple of short walks.

Grampians National Park, VIC

Star Rating:★★

★=Full Star☆=Half a Star

 At the Grampians we: 

  • Climbed Mt Zero the day we got there, there was a great view from the top. There was also two eagles flying around the top, they came so close that I could see all the colours in their feathers.
  • Climbed the Pinnacle the next morning, there was meant to be an amazing view but all we could see was fog. It was really cold and it rained for a bit. When we got back down to the bottom the sky cleared up and Mum said "lets go back up!", the rest of us just shook our heads!!
  • Went to a couple more lookouts after lunch.
  • Walked up the the top of Mt Staplyton in the morning, on the way we saw Bird Rock and a few rock climbers. After a quick rock scramble, to get to the top, it was nice to sit down and enjoy the view. On the way back down we saw a super cute swamp wallaby, it stay looking at us for ages before quickly hopping away. When we got back we stayed at camp for the rest of the day as we were really sore from the walk.
  • Climbed to the top of Hollow Mountain early the next morning to watch the sunrise, it was beautiful. The colours were amazing.
The Grampians was great, we had fun on all the walks and the campground was beautiful. There were kangaroos and blue wrens all throughout it and we had a campfire (with marshmallows) every night!
