We got up early in order to go up to the viewpoint over Adelaide before the morning rush hour. We hadn't exactly seen a great deal of the place, but I'll be back in just over a week. Instead we saw the whole of Adelaide from the top of the mount, looking out to the sea beyond.
It was a quick stop before we were off into the Grampians. This mountains hold some of Australia's few waterfalls - there's not enough water here to compete with New Zealand. The next morning though we would go up to the Pinnacles. We would walk up onto the top of the cliffs. From here we could see the Pinnacles as well as the lake that has been built into a resevoir for he growing city.
Our guide had one surprise for us. There is a playing field not far from the hostel we stayed at. Here, each afternoon, the local kangaroos congregate to graze on the grass. They were very tame. Many of our group simply found one that would let them close, perhaps even stroke it. Others were more flighty, but we got excellent photographs of them.
