We spent Saturday exploring the Grampians Nation Park. We headed to the Hall’s Gap with a stop over at the Silverband Water falls and were amazed by the devastation of the last floods.  The little Dairy Creek use to lazily flow through a fern clad gully but last September heavy rainfall turn it into a raging torrent destroying everything in its path. The name of Silverband was given to the falls because of its narrow stream of water.
From there we drove towards Zumsteins picnic area where we all were supposed to meet for a picnic lunch. On arrival at Hall’s Gap we were informed that the picnic place has been partially destroyed by the floods. Thanks to the easy of communications  no one got lost and we all assembled at the MacKenzies falls for our picnic.
Mackenzies Falls is the largest waterfall in Victoria fed from Lake Wartook the oldest man made reservoir in Victoria. Obviously MacKenzies Fall is one of the most visited in the Grampians.
