Hall’s Gap – The Pinnacle

To see full sized images with captions click on a single one.

Our plan today was to investigate some of the interesting spots around the town. We intended to visit the McKenzie Falls but drove into the Wonderland Carpark, several walks start from there. We decided on the walk to the Pinnacle, a 2.1 km walk, sometimes when distances are quoted they include the return but this one didn’t.

Don’t forget to double that if you plan on coming back!

There were rocky paths:

Going up!

Great Views:

Maybe not a great view for you but the Carpark was certainly one for us!

It astounds me that in the early days people worked cattle in this terrain. There was evidence overgrown by scrub.

I was tortured on the way up and Alex was tortured on the way down!

After a quick stop for some food in Halls Gap we’ve come back to camp to recover, I wish there was a spa!
