Halls Gap, Roses Gap

 Lovely drive today up into the Grampians. No wonder I feel at home - 2,300' at Reids Lookout. Pity about the smoke haze but stunning scenery. Glad I didn't try to take the Caravan up there  - a narrow winding road all the way  until past Zumstein (which has been washed out and is now fenced off). Lots of tourists in every car park. Some seriously dedicated walkers also.
Went to Mackenzie Falls - Kiosk was closed which was a shame as many thirsty people around. Would be better to see the falls after rain.
On up to Wartook. Delicious lunch at the Wander Inn then back to Halls Gap via Roses Gap. A good road, easy drive and sealed all the way - just no centre marking but room to move over. Quiet also - maybe the 'tourists' havent discovered it - I only saw one car.
Troopers Creek camp looks rather sad and neglected - 544 in camp 6. Has had heavy rain through there and the driveway is scoured. Supposed to have entertainment etc according to the sign but looks very deserted.
There is a big parking area further in but dont think it was a camping place.
Will check the lake again tomorrow - I am told you can see the old Halls Gap township that has been flooded by it -  if the water is low enough.
Then  -  after research  - found it was the Bellfield guest house that was flooded. The CP owners saw it 13 years ago when the lake was dry.
