Grampians

"Declared a National Park in 1984, The Grampians National Park is an oasis of diversity, set amongst the agricultural Western District of Victoria. The 167,000 acres house around a third of Victoria's plant species, and forms a safe haven for many species of marsupial and mammal." That is what said in the travel brochure and that is among the reason why I really wanted to go there.

Yaris, really an economical car.

Unfortunately, we can't swim here, it is too deep and the water current here is really strong.

yup akak, mmg best. cantik air terjun tu tapi unfortunately, banyak tempat air terjun kat sini tak boleh nak mandi. cuma boleh tengok ajer. either it's too dangerous or it's too cold to swim. tapi mmg best lepak kat tempat2 macam nie. mmg menenangkan fikiran kan.
