The Grampians - Day 1

.

Last week, during the Easter break, the gang went on a roadtrip, driving to the Grampians! I know I promised to blog about it longgg time ago, when I got back, but I just managed to get hold of the pictures recently, a couple of days ago. And I haven't really found the time to blog about it until now :)

I remember staying up late, watching the Korean drama, "A Love to Kill" until about 4am, and then having to wake up at 8.30am to get ready and leave for the Grampians. They came to pick me up... and we started our uber long journey. Thank God I didn't have to drive, and ended up sleeping on most parts, except to wake up for lunch and all.

Our first destination was to dump all our bags and stuff @ the house. Wanted to rest and stretch for abit, but then, we didn't really wanna waste time. So, we then grabbed a map, and drove out to do some sight-seeing before it got dark. It'll be absolutely scary to be exploring the area in total darkness! **reminds me of the blair witch project**

First destination: The Boroka Lookout, Northern Grampians

Destination 2: The Balconies

Our faithful Tarago, that got us around :) And Swee of course... being the responsible driver. **YS nearly reversed into the trashbins! We didn't allow him to touch the driver's seat after that**

Picture above shows a part of the forest that got wiped out during the bush fire early this year. You can see that the trees are black, then brown, and the top growing part is green. It was quite a sight actually! Very interesting. I haven't seen anything like that before. If you look at it from afar, it almost looks like a forest, with rainbows of black-brown-red-green :) Soooo kewll!!

Doesn't the rock at the back look like an animal head, with eyes, nose and mouth?

We made it back to our accomodation just as the sun was setting *phew* Cooked dinner, and showered... Rested for awhile. We were meant to have an early night, cause everyone was tired, but the thing was, nobody really wanted to sleep. Hehehe.

So, we had some chips, drank a little, played cards, watched tele for abit... and of course... planned our journey for the next day :) *WHEE*

Didn't manage to get to "Twister" and "Pictionary" on the first night. We were pretty knackered! And knowing that we were gonna do something physically strenuous the next day, Twister's definitely NOT the game we wanna be playing the night before.
