We took an exciting camping trip a few weekends ago to the Grampians in Victoria. It is a huge national park that has a broad diversity of flora and fauna, wildlife, and rock formations. We did some great hiking, and saw some very neat rock caves painted with Aboriginal rock art. We also had a great campfire and enjoyed hanging out with our friends Ginger and Paul at the campsite as well. The park suffered a very extensive big bush fire about two years ago and it was very visible. So we made sure to use extra special caution when we put out our campfire. You could see the charred markings form the brushfire on trees, however, there was much new growth starting to happen along the forest floor. Luckily, none of the surrounding towns sustained any damage.
