Sunday we left the van at the lake and headed into Halls Gap a delightful small village situated at the foothills of the Grampians National Park. We couldn't believe all the cars, people and campers that were in at Halls Gap, we didn't know it was the annual Grape Festival one of the largest festivals in Victoria.
Leaving Halls Gap we made our way up the scenic route to Boroke Lookout, what a spectacular view well worth the drive up. We were very worried that we wouldn't see anything as we en counted heavy fog on the way. Our next top was Reid Lookout which was shrouded in fog, we were at least able to look at the info picture to know what we would have seen. It was then do we or don't we go onto Mackenzie Falls, as it was only about 7klms more we decided to have a look. Lucky for us there was good visibility and managed a couple of walks to the lookouts, baulking at the 265 steps to the base of the falls, knowing our poor old knees would't like them very much, maybe a lot.
Arriving back at the lake we decided to spend another night and Baz went gathering wood, so we could sit around our fire pot, it was only 14 degrees. Looking forward to when we get to warmer weather, we decided to spend a little time discovering new areas in Victoria that we haven't been to before.
