Day 137 Monday 29th August

We left Mt Gambier at 7.15 this morning. We were pretty much packed up last night so we could leave early this morning. We had to get 4 new tyres on the van this morning, so actually we didn’t leave until 9.00.
We crossed the border into Victoria and set our watches forward ½ an hour. It got colder the closer to the Grampians we got. We arrived at Hall’s Gap and set up in the caravan park. The local oval was full of kangaroos. There had been a big flood in January and the road from Dunkeld to Hall’s Gap had only just opened last weekend. There was a lot of evidence of flooding and landslides.  As we drove into the Grampians we saw 2 mountains; Mt Abrupt and Mt Sturgeon.
