The Grampians National Park in Victoria is a bush-walker’s
paradise and today I would like you to come on a mini vacation through the
Grand Canyon – one of the iconic walks in the area.
Starting from the Wonderland car park, we walk alongside the
cascading creek which runs through the canyon (the legacy of a wet winter, as
this area if often dry), and finally enter the canyon itself.
We are accompanied by the burbling sounds of running water
as we make our way over the path on the grey rocks, looking up at the awesome
walls of the canyon from time to time when we pause from watching our footing.
Every so often we glance back the other way to views back
down the canyon and towards higher ranges.
Then we continue on through the canyon, which constantly
changes.
We walk carefully across a smooth rock face, thankful for
the protective rail.
Eventually we reach the end of the canyon, where a small
waterfall greets us.
And today, this normally awesome canyon has a new thread
weaving through it with the cascading water, giving us a different experience and
perspective, just like new perspectives can weave new threads through the stony
pathways of our life journeys.
