It was then off for our morning walk. We did the Sundial walk which was as long as yesterday's Pinnacle walk but less rocky. The countryside has had some fires and that meant that the understorey had some light. So we had a profusion of small bushes and ground covers, banksias, grevilleas, correas and other stuff we did not recognise. There was the odd flower among them , but probably Spring is the time for this walk.
The view from Sundial peak was nice and we spotted a wedge tailed eagle briefly. This added to the many other birds we saw along the way.
We decided to visit Silverband falls for our picnic lunch. Not a lot of water but a pleasant place for lunch.
Marjan decided a slack afternoon of reading and ukuleleing was in order. I on the other hand decided to climb Mt William which is the highest point in the Grampians. Luckily it was a road rather than a track as it went straight up. The top was about 1100 metres, which was about my heart rate. I had a wander about and spotted a couple of wedge tailed eagles soaring by.
The way down was much easier and so I stopped and took some photos......strange as that may seem.
So a swim in the pool and a skype to Laura for her birthday rounded out the day before a dinner of bacon and eggs.
Bye
