Melbourne Region - Grampians - Hike

The next morning it was kinda hard to get everyone out of bed... so Mattes and I did a little waterfall hike before the day started. Funnily enough, the waterfall does not flow into a pool, but goes right underground where it flows on in an undergrond river.
Once everyone was up and we'd had a super dooper brekkie we headed out for our hike - which took us 5 hours and way beauuutiful! but it was HOT and we needed shade and water and rest.

waterfall in the morning - and coucourch con beenie!


on the big hike! checking out rock formations


at the first outlook



some poor man had broken his leg - and as it was about 2hrs to get back to civilization, a helicopter had to come and save him. it was so impressive to see how it managed to hover above the ground, let people down to secure him, and pull him back up. crazy stuff.





group picture! we all made it up!! :-)



we took a different route back down, pretty awesome through some canions, but impossible (at least for me) to catch on camera...







meins!
