The Grampians with Gma and Gpa French

While Jenny's Mom and Dad were in Australia in April we took them up to the Grampians. They are a set of Low Mountains in the center of Australia at the heart of the Gold country. The hiking is superb and the views very nice over the low lands of central Victoria.


The Cabin we stayed in had a family of wild lawn mowers.

Australia is suffering through a 10 year drought and and many of the lakes and rives are dry or significantly down. This small stream that we have pictures of when we first moved here with some water is now just rocks. The grampians were significantly burned a year and half prior just before my parents had visited. This visit we got to see how nature has worked to recover.

Rodney and Jake, wishing we had canceled the cards before the trip.....
