GIRRAWEEN NATIONAL PARK
The car is packed for roadtrip, Girraween nationalpark.
About 225 nillion years ago, Girraween s landscape was formed by the acts of nature. The oceanic plate and sediments collided with the continent and ocean sediments were thrust from off shore into the land area. When this happened, magma was forced to invade the traprock layer and when it slowly cooled down, it formed granite. So the whole park looks like a moon landscape with massive rocks of granite. Really incredible! Just look at these pics:

Lunch time
Wild kangaroos whre everywhere. Were both very excited with the sight of the first one but after almost tripping on them wherever we went, the excitement sort of cooled down a bit
