Dunkeld

The Road from Halls Gap to Dunkeld is called Grampians Road, it is 65 km of motor cycle heaven a great surface and just enough corners to challenge a sports bike rider. The view from Halls Gap to dunkeld is awesome majestic mountains and in some places a canopy of eucalyptus trees line each side of the road. My only complaint was that it was drizziling rain so that made it a little colder than I found comfortable.

The town of Dunkeld is a quaint little country town there are a number of cafe's and eateries there, I stoped there for an early lunch and it was tasty and reasonable priced.

On the way back to Halls Gap I took the Victoria Valley road, this was a great ride as well however it was a little narrow in places the road was only the width of the spyder, having said that the surface was good.



I detoured to Silverband Falls and parked the bike in the car park there, the falls were aproximately 1.2 km from the carpark and what a relaxing walk it was, fresh air and a babiling creek was my only company, there is something about the sound of running water and the quietness of nature that soothes the mind and gives rest to the soul.

I am glad that I decided to stay here for 5 days there is so much to do and it looks like the sun is coming back I can see patches of blue peaking through the clouds, It has been peacful here today that was up until about 15 minutes ago when a bus load of 14 year old school kids arrived with teachers in tow, they are currently running amok, up and down the corridor, let's hope they don't do that all night otherwise uncle steve gonna get the shit's big time.
