Oz- Day 3

We took a break of giving you a commentary of our last holiday. We now move into Day 3. We left you when we just got into Grampiens National Park. This is a great place with really breathtaking rock formations, plateau and just extraordinary scenery.

It's all about the scenery and the wild kangaroos. We visited a Aboriginal Center which showed us how the lived and the history of their culture. Basically they were there first and the white man (which were British prisoners) arrived here to be serve their prison sentence and took the Aborigines' land away. HAHAHAHA! Those Caucasians, you gotta love them. Well I am not going to comment on what happen centuries ago which did not concern today's generation.

Below are some pictures of the chalet we stayed as well as the surrounding view.




The Aboriginal Center.


Some of the sceneries that we took from the various lookouts. There was a waterfall that needed us to climb down a very steep staircase. It was ok since we have seen better here at home but during the climb up, Melissa has shortness of breath and was fainting. So we had to sit down while she caught her breath and the stars stopped dancing in front of her eyes. Gave me a bit of a scare. There were some bragging points since she always made fun of my weight but I was the fitter one. But thank God she didn't fall or worse.
