Loaded with a tent and sleeping bags for me and the girls we hitched up the caravan to the Landcruiser and headed off to Halls Gap Gardens Caravan Park, 41/2 hour drive to an unpowered site surrounded by roaming emus and kangaroos and with the beautiful rocky Grampian N P as a back drop.
We barely scraped the surface of the numerous hikes there are to do. Our just 5 year old Jayde, did a tremendous job on all the hikes, and 6 year old Jacey was our leader most of the time. Jordan and Jenna are the best camp helpers, and always a pleasure to have aboard. We found many interesting geological formations, collected quartz, enjoyed the wild spring flowers and generally had a ton of fun together. The weather was mainly cool but sunny, almost zero overnight.
We accomplished 4 great hikes, with no complaints and had tonns of fun.
