·         DAY 2:
Morning:Ngamadjidj Aboriginal Art Shelter
Gulgurn Manja ShelterAboriginal rock art

I personally do not recommend this place, it was unpaved road, and the scene was quite disappointing.

Afternoon:Mackenzie Falls
The walk to a viewing platform, that overlooks MacKenzie Falls, is suitable for people with limited mobility. For the most spectacular view, approach the viewing platform from the right-hand fork of the track.
Distance: 1.9 km return.

Elevation Change: 10 metres.
Grade: easy.

Boroka Lookout provides a great view of the Halls Gap Valley and the eastern plains. An easy stroll through open stringybark forest leads to two viewing platforms that look down the Halls Gap valley and out onto the eastern plains, and is suitable for people with limited mobility.
Distance: 90m one way.

Grade: easy.

·         DAY 3:
全天:wonderland/Grand Canyon
We didn't challenge the pinnacle,some friends said it will take 5 hours'return starting from Halls Gap car park.

Alternatively, you can drive to Wonderland car park, then walk from there and it will take 2 hours'walk.

Tip: try not to walk in the Grand Canyon near sunset, it is easy to get lost there, bring some colourful ribbons to bind to branches,twigs on the way as a directional guide for go back.

Go home...
