After my adventures in the Australian outback, I flew from Alice Springs to Adelaide. I didn\u2019t really have time to explore Adelaide. For I stayed there one late afternoon and a night at the Shakespeare Backpacker<\/a> before leaving for a three days tour that took me to the Grampians<\/a> and the Great Ocean Road<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As usual in this huge country, we had a lot of road trips on the first day. On the way we spotted some albino kangaroos, an echidna, which was burying itself when it heard us and my first of the many famous Australian road signs after 6 months in the country.<\/p>\n

We reached the Grampians in the early afternoon. The Grampians are big mountain ranges in the state of Victoria. We started our visit to those mountains by the McKenzie waterfall, one of the few waterfalls that flows all the year round. We then continued on to what was supposedly to be a magnificent view over the valley but unfortunately it was \u00a0totally covered by the fog.<\/p>\n
