Grampians National Park II

i had the 2nd and 3rd day mostly to myself to explore around the town of Halls Gap. Would prefer if i had a car, then i would be able to drive around and find interesting spots but i spent most of my time hiking.

kangaroos resting udner the shade away from the heat. i like the warm color of this picture though some say the shadows are a lil harsh.kangaroos running away from me??
while hiking towards chiquatua peak, i took this shot of Halls Gap. You'd have to pass this town if you're coming here from Melbourne. Nothing much but so are most towns!
the trail
too lazt to setup tripod to shoot pics of myself so my shadows will do :P
more trail pics
and more! i actually didn't climb up to the top, call me a pussy or whatever but it's not easy when u're alone, i had to abandon my bag for awhile already and there was just this one place i couldn't climb up so i gave up.
3rd day was sorta disappointing as it rained. i spent most of my time here at Grampians YHA, where i stayed watching a truman shaw and 21grams :P the hostel is pretty unique as it adopts strict eco-friendly standards. solar panels, etc... and the 2 staff(an australian and her husband from south africa)were just fabulous. plus , their son nicholas was pretty cute and active :)
the only shot i managed out the 3rd day.. the mist!
that said, the bus forgot to pick me up and were already at the next town when they were contacted. they waited while i took a cab down there, which was like 70aus!!! but they paid for it anyways :P all in all, it was fun and would love to spend more time exploring the area.
