Good reading RL. We have not spent a lot of time in VIC but I am building up a list of things to do and places to go, and you have certainly added to that list today. Thanks

Yeah ... took me bloody AGES to get him outta the way so I could get inside the cave for a gander. 

Gawd - he had such a piercing, blood-curdling growl cry Lucky he decided to go home for a beer.

cheers - John

We did almost the same trip a couple of years ago although we didn't do the Grampians. I cant walk well enough to scramble over rocks and rough terrain. I think as kids we climbed and walked over quite a bit of the Grampians. Great story. Watchem Lake is a great place to camp.

Great read John. And pictures. I worked at Watchem in around 1980 at Bank there. Lived at pub while I was there. Had a space invaders machine that was very popular. Tuesday afternoons we would head up the road to Birchip to play 9 holes of golf. Was my first time playing on sand greens.

You have stirred some great memories for me. Thanks. Cant wait to see that area of Vic again.
