Day 6: Moving Day: from BP to HG


Hall's Gap
, here we come!

Today was moving day. All went smoothly as we left the Bellarine Peninsula and headed for Hall's Gap. It was a four hour drive from go to woah, with a marked rise in temperature between caravan parks! (Three cheers for Sheila, who helped us skirt Ballarat and Ararat instead of having to navigate through the busy city areas.)

Hall's Gap is HOT at the moment. OK, not excessively hot, but 35 degrees seems pretty much up there, when you are coming from the low 20s. The air conditioner in the van got it's first go and has been a fantastic boon. Of course, we all went and wallowed in the pool later, which was just as effective.


The Park Gate Caravan Park has great facilities: two swimming pools, tennis courts, play ground, jumping pillow, games room, etc. Plenty to keep us occupied.

In the cooler evening we went for a quick drive into the town to check out the walks for tomorrow. We are going to get up early and walk up to the pinnacle via the Grand Canyon. (Sounds impressive, doesn't it?) We'll see how that goes. My feet are behaving at least.

Home.
