The Silverband Mission

Yesterday, I had a difficult time of it, being paid to go bushwalking!
We are investigating having an author visit to the region, and hosting it at Silverband Falls in the Grampians, so someone had to check out the logistics.
We found drive there (after we turned off the highway) was quite picturesque around Mt Dryden - the ranges behind rolling pastures of green and crops of canola.
Halls Gap was busy with tourists and traffic, including a Northern Grampians gang working on the roadsurface outside the new Tourist Info centre.
We shared the walk in to the Falls with a busload of retirees from Albury, but found no-one else at the base which saved us the embarassment of being seen facing away from the falls and photographing the ground!
Though a guy was concerned that the Albury bus had hit our car when he saw me writing notes back at the carpark.
