- ROSES GAP ROAD, OLD GOLDFIELDS ROUTE IN THE GRAMPIANS
Located within the Grampians National Park, Victoria is Roses Gap. Roses Gap Road is a fully sealed road connecting to the Western Highway and Wartook. The road provides access to Beehive Falls. These are usually just a trickle of water in the warmer months. Troopers Creek bush camp sites and The Wander Inn, Wartook are nearby if travelling by car. The more direct route to Halls Gap is a relatively flat gravel road of 20 km plus. Bushfires have raged in the area as can be seen from a few roadside fire affected signs that were never replaced. The bushland generally recovers within one or two years of a fire burning through the area. In the summer months the national park can get high temperatures and in turn this will dry out the underlying scrub. Roses Gap Road, once known as the 'Old Adelaide Road,' holds a significant historical value as it served as a vital route connecting different regions. This road, steeped in history, winds its way through picturesque landscapes, offering glimpses of towering cliffs that majestically rise from the surrounding bushland. The sight of these impressive cliffs, just a few kilometres off the road, adds a sense of grandeur and awe to the journey for travellers passing through. As one navigates along the current road, the presence of these natural formations serves as a reminder of the rugged beauty and geological wonders that characterise the area.

Mackenzie Falls The waterfall is the largest falls in the Grampians National Park Victoria. The falls are about a thirty minute drive from Halls Gap along a good, sealed road. There used to be a kiosk for many years with drinks and snacks available but summer bushfire damage made it unviable for a retail building in the area. There is a large carpark.

Mackenzie Falls from carpark to base of falls is a steep descent walk of 570 metres via 260 steps. For those unable to hike the many steps Mackenzie Falls Lookout is a great alternative walk.

- GET YOUR HALLS GAP TRIPLE SCOOP AT THE ICE CREAMERY GRAMPIANS NATIONAL PARK
Halls Gap In The Grampians A small popular tourist town in Victoria. Located on Grampians Road, twenty-five km off of the Western Highway. The town is surrounded by the Grampians National Park. With a population of over four hundred. This increases many times over in holiday periods. Halls Gap is widely unofficially known as the tiny tourist capital of the Grampians National Park. All types of accommodation, fuel, retail, food outlets and a chemist are available in Halls Gap. Stoney Creek shops & Icecream Treat Many an unsuspecting tourist has sat down on the provided outdoor seating around the Stoney Creek retail boardwalk to indulge in a tasty bakery pie. Only to end teary eyed when one of the many small birds flutters down to remove the food from the haplass tourist's plate or outstretched hand. Also a few of the larger white cockatoo's mingle amongst the steady stream of people ready for any unattended morsels. On one of my visits to the Stoney Creek Boardwalk in Halls Gap I was given a free choice of icecream from the many varieties on offer in a home made waffle cone from Halls Gap Ice Creamery . It's not unusual to see a queue of people form at peak times. On another visit I received a triple scoop cone. Thankyou. The owners & staff of Coolas Ice Creamery knew me and wouldn't accept payment. During 2024 the icecreamery changed ownership. So no more free triple scoop icecreams for me from 2024 onwards. Prices are reasonable and I don't mind to pay after a long hike for a tasty cold scoop or two, or three.

- MOUNT PANORAMA BATHURST & THE MOUNTAIN DAY FIVE & SIX
the most dangerous section of track is braking into Forrest's Elbow - Traveldriven Bathurst On day five of this Canberra road trip I was tempted to detour about 350 km to Bathurst. A regional city on the Central Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia. Distance from Sydney is about two hundred kilometres (120 mi) via the Blue Mountains. Bathurst is the oldest inland settlement in Australia. The population exceeds 37,000. Mount Panorama racetrack is located three kilometres (1.9 mi) from the CBD on the outer fringe of Bathurst. Mount Panorama is 877 metres (2,877 ft) above sea level and rises 215 metres (705 ft) above Bathurst CBD.

A detour of a little over three hours' drive nonstop. Accommodation was in Rydges Motel adjacent to Conrod Straight. It was a wintry few days. I drove the racetrack under rainy and wet conditions. Public road speed limits apply of 60 km on the circuit and 45 km through The Chase. Fog or low cloud was on top of the mountain throughout much of the day. Driving below posted limits here. Reduced visibility. Locals walk trackside most days. The inner enclosed area has a few homes, wineries and paddocks. Not uncommon for kangaroo's to be seen grazing and hop across the track. In my opinion, the most dangerous section of track is braking into Forrest's Elbow and still within speed limits as the car wants to push towards the outer barrier and understeer. Probably because I was unable to drive an optimal line through Forrest's Elbow and being a public road. Also, very wet conditions. On the tight sections of track, awareness of downshifting compression lock can be an issue if gear shifting is not timed correctly. I experienced no lockup issues. The track is a public road open to two-way traffic so prevents the driving line from a road safety perspective. At these low speeds the most fun section of track is second to third gear avoiding wheelspin on the wet road climbing into The Cutting. Followed by Skyline and through The Esses third down to second gear. Also, mild acceleration second to third gear out of the apex of The Chase . At somewhat low speeds, approaching a safe racing line can be attained through The Chase if it is a clear track. Correct gear selection is important for enjoyment and safety. This proves the track can be enjoyed driving to the posted speed limits. In driving mode, Sports or Track and on a wet road here, even adhering to speed limits tighter corners can induce a small rear wriggle sometimes. Selecting the Wet/Snow mode made driving more stable. Permanent surveillance cameras are placed around the circuit. Despite driving multiple laps. No driving infringements were incurred on the track. Bathurst & Homeward Bound Day seven On day five of the road trip meant arriving on dusk to Bathurst and the Rydges trackside motel. Car GPS instructed take a right turn onto Boundary Road, follow to the roundabout and drive onto Pit Straight. The shortest route surrounded by bush. Of course, kangaroos crossed the road out in front before Pit Straight. These were avoided. Two days later, dawn and sunrise leaving Bathurst to return to Victoria, along the same roads, a large kangaroo hopped between my car and a bus following behind. Only a few hundred metres from Pit Straight. The start of a 1,000 km solo drive to home in Victoria. Apart from this, no other incidents. On the Hume Freeway drove to within 50 km of Melbourne I ignored the GPS and detoured via Kilmore, Hanging Rock, then Gisborne to Bacchus Marsh. Over one hour fifteen minutes and 95 km to avoid the Melbourne five o'clock Friday peak hour. Arrived Western Freeway, Bacchus Marsh on nightfall. Worked out well. After a driving break, drove to the Wimmera and home. Twelve hours on the road and a little short of 1,000 km. Traveldriven PREV NSW NEXT PREV ROADTRIP CANBERRA NEXT PREV MUSTANG GT NEXT HOMEPAGE

Menin Gate Lions Australian War Memorial Canberra Through the main entry foyer to the War Memorial stand the Menin Gate Lions. In 1936 two large stone lions were donated to the Australian War Memorial by the mayor of the Belgian city of Ypres. They were given to the Australian government in the years after the First World War as a gesture of friendship. In exchange, the Memorial presented to Ypres a bronze casting of C Web Gilbert's sculpture Digger on behalf of the Australian government. Carved from calcareous bluestone in the eighteenth century, the lions had originally stood on plinths either side of the Menin Gate at Ypres -one of two entries into the medieval fortified city. It was through this gate that British and Dominion troops marched off the the battlefields of the Ypres Salient between 1914 and 1918. During this period the lions were toppled from their plinths by the same shellfire that reduced most of Ypres to rubble. Portions of the damaged sculptures were later reconstructed to show off the lions in their former glory. After the war, the Menin Gate was chosen as the site for a memorial to the thousands of allied soldiers killed in Belgium during the First World War who have no known graves. The names of 54,900 British and Dominion soldiers are commemorated on the Menin Gate Memorial, of which 6,187 are Australian. -Australian War Memorial Canberra The Last Post The daily Last Post Ceremony is from 4.30pm.
