Camp at Grampions
We got on the bus early friday morning,
and went through Australias flat landscape that looks quite similar to the one of southern France or Spain, until you see a huge flock of kokatoos taking of by the side of the road.
We stopped for lunch in the town of Arrarat,
and went on for a tour of the cellars, and of course some wine-tasting at Seppelts Winery.
Our next stop was Brambuk oboriginal centre. The building below is designed to look like a kokatoo, the totem animal of the lokal tribe, in flight. Accept watching some movies and looking around, we got to taste som australian animals here, including kangoroo and crocodile.
Once at camp, we could see all the kangoroos we wanted, and when we went out for a night-walk in the woods, we also saw some kokaburras, sugar gliders, and varios kinds of possums.
The next morning, we went in to the town of Hamilton, a place that in the end of the 19th century had more churches (9) than hotels (8). This was apperently uncommon around here, but I do not think that the same applies to Europe, where churches are everywhere..
Well, there's alwas a first time for everything, and on Saturday afternoon, I did go for a walk in the woods, in the rain, by my own free will :P
We found a yoye that was all alone, he was sooo cute, and I really hope that it's true like Kent said, that they are usually found again by the kangoroos.
In the evening we had a barbecue with some local people, and then the party went on, a great night.. not such a great sunday morning three hours later. But it was not as bad as I could have imagined actually. Below we are waiving goodbye to Dennis and Marie, the camp owners, from the bus.
We started sunday with visiting a sheep farm,
and then went to our last stop at Sovereign Hill, a theme park about the gold rush. I was raining all day, so we were quite lucky to get on the tour of an underground mine, wich you normaly had to book in advance.
