19 July 1985. Grampians National Park, western Victoria, Australia

Left Halls Gap and headed up the Stoney Creek Track. That took me to the Wonderland Turntable in an hour. Then up the familiar Pinnacle Track. On top I took photos and ate lunch. Was alerted to an eagle soaring close overhead by the call of a Currawong. By the time I’d put the telephoto on it was gone.

Came down via the Ridge Track. Climbed Mackeys Peak and enjoyed the last of the sun (4.15) before it went down behind the higher ridge. Saw one koala. Back to the Youth Hostel around five.

Alot more people turned up tonight. Including two girls from L.A. Have hitched from Cairns around the coast. Played scrabble with one, Lydia, also Gunther and Jill. Then Lydia and I went out spotting koalas with her flashlight. Saw two.
