Last day! Last blog too!!!! Woke up without the alarm going off even though I had set it the night before too, when I checked what the time was it was 10 past 8 the alarm was set for 8.00am. I checked the alarm setting and found I had not changed the PM to AM. I was half organised the night before and got away at about 9am after handing my key in and being refunded for the key bond too. This was the first caravan park that had done this and the first with a boom gate system! After filling the car up at Pomonal for 1.26 a litre; I thought it won’t be that in Hamilton where we seem to be stuck at 1.28. I headed west into the eastern edge of the Grampians ... read more

Well once I put my ear plugs in to block the persistent calling of the Willy Wagtail last night I slept quite well.

Must be getting quicker or less messy because the cabin was tidy and I was packed and left at 9.45am instead of 5 to 10. No hang on; I had done some pre packing the night before. Decided to go back to Kooyoora State Park and have morn tea, not back up to Melville Caves for more leg flogging slope climbs! Instead just of the Inglewood Rd. When I arrived the wind had picked up a bit which disappointed the birder in me; a windy day means bad birding they don’t like being out in either. But I stayed and made my cuppa any way. It cheered up a bit so I got to hear and then see a few nice birds; Australasian Grebe (on the dam), Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater and Eastern Rosella to name a few. ... read more
