We left Horsham this morning for Grampians National Park. As we approached, the weather didn't look too bad, but that soon changed - rain until early afternoon.

We did see a wallaby (live) but missed the photo and then saw a couple of emus. Scenery was spectacular but dreary today so hiking was very limited.

We visited the Brambuck Aboriginal Cultural Centre in Halls Gap and then headed south. An end to the rain and a delicious late lunch at the popular Royal Mail Hotel in Dunkeld briefly brightened our spirits, but we shortly realized we had both acquired a cold, probably on the Alice Springs-Adelaide flight.

A few more hours driving across the flat, green, sheep-covered Victoria Plain brought us to the coast at Port Campbell. We'll do more sightseeing around here in the morning.

In the meantime, we're sitting tight with hot soup and tissues (peppermint/eucalyptus-scented) as the rain has started pouring down outside again.
