Down Under Day 7: The Grampians Part 1

It was a rainy, cold morning when we checked out of our motor inn at Warrnambool. But before we made our way to the Grampians, we headed down to Logan's Beach in hope to do some whale watching.

Each year, between June and August, the Southern Right whales make their way to the southern cost of Australia to give birth and raise their young. We were told that there hadn't been any sighting of the whales yet, but we didn't mind trying our luck.

No luck with the whales

We then took a long, three hour drive and knew we had arrived at the Grampians when we were greeted by the following sights.

Home for the next 2 days was at The Kingfisher. Cosy and well-equipped. And centrally located to Halls Gap, where there's a small supermarket and restaurants. I highly recommend this for anyone who plans on making a trip to The Grampians.

Love the spacious kitchen

The bedroom on the 2nd level. No star gazing for us because we didn't know how to use the telescope!

We wanted to sit at the porch, enjoy the cold weather and have a bbq but the supermarket at Halls Gap did not stock up on fresh meat nor vegetables. I guess it was because it was low season and the food would go bad if there wasn't a demand. We were so so disappointed. If only we knew, we could have bought our supplies from the supermarkets in Warrnambool!
