Gariwerd (the Grampians) Victoria, Australia

[peter anson]

Gariwerd is a beautiful mountain range in western Victoria. In 2024 I did a motorcycle trip and a short hiking trip to the area. I was hoping to get some good aerial shots of the region but nature intervened in a cruel way. Nearly half of the area was devastated by fires just before Christmas so my aerial shots are not much more than a record of the damage done. My own area was threatened by fires just before Christmas so when we travelled to a distant holiday destination we were wondering if we would have a home to return to. We were lucky. We didn't have the sort of winds that drove the fires in California. Here is a link to my blog: https://www.ansoneng.com/sample-page/sonex-trips/gariwerd-victoria-australia/
Here are before and after shots, not of the exact same areas.

Glad you got the ground trip in on time. How’s the old bird running Peter? Any chance you guys are thinking of another ny trip?

Hi Gordon, the Sonex is going well. I keep trying for perfection in the engine cooling department but haven't achieved it yet. I'll be in the top right corner of the US for a short time in mid March, mainly skiing in NH I hope. I might make it down your way with a little luck.
