Hall's Gap, Victoria

Visiting the Grampian Mountains in early October, we encountered a dramatic blackened landscape burnt by the January 2006 wildfire. Spring time is bringing new growth back to the forests. The green shoots on the eucalyptus trees made the woods look all fuzzy.

Hall's Gap is a vacation spot at the foot of the Wonderland range....a pretty little village...Population of 300...We loved our visit to Brambuk, the National Park and Cultural Centre - a red roofed building shaped like a cockatoo displaying Aboriginal art and artifacts. Aborigines have a 5,000 year history in this sacred place. Wandering around the interesting and spectacular rock formations, canyons, mountains, and viewpoints we felt captivated, enchanted, & awed.

I am trying to upload photos and will keep trying.......
