 | Melbourne Grampians National Park Reviews | 11 - 13 of 13 |  |
Unaware of the forest fire that took place in Jan 2006, I was stunned when I reached the Grampians.... Stunned to see burnt, charred, no leaves, "bald" trees everywhere... the smell of the burning forest is still lingering in the air.... No animals can be seen, except for a few wallabees... was told that the 1st wallabee was seen 6 months after the fire...
Another weird findings that the locals found is that the leaves start to grow on the barks, stem and branches of the trees.. something that they have never seen before...
It was very disheartening to see the surrounding.. I was so excited to smell the greens and only to be welcomed by lots of blacks...
Some of you may find these findings very boring but being a Geography student once, I find the aftermath of forest fire very enlightening...
I am sure you can find the before fire pictures in VT and compare to those I took after the fire pictures..... If you are a nature lover, you will feel the heartache... Leave a Comment

Woah! I never thought a backpackers' place up the mountain can be so much comfortable and warm than the one in the city....
An absolutely splendid place with clean facilities and warm welcome upon our arrival.
I really enjoyed it here and the place feel more like at home and not like in a backpackers. The surroundings are so serene and it just feel so peaceful listening to the sound of the forest (whatever it is)...
If I had more time, I would spend another 2-3 nights here...
Oh! heard that it snowed ard Tim's place on the night that we stayed.. Just further up the mountains.. that was in end May 07.... Winter just arrived...
All for only A$25 per pax (4-bed dorm).... Leave a Comment
