Lentil as Anything

Here is a great concept restaurant. You don't actually have to pay for the meal if you can't, the entire place is run on donations. You just grab a plate and hop in line, then you can drop money in a box when you leave. Everything is vegetarian and they serve a lot of curries.

Here is their philosophy that they post at the tables.


This is a great concept for a restaurant that needs to pop up in more places. They try to cater to all walks of life, feeding the homeless as well as business men. It is totally hippie central though. There was live music and they were playing a silent movie on the wall. Definitely made me want to look up an old Charlie Chaplin movie.

Grampians

Nearing the end of my trip and almost out of money, I scrounge up enough to take one last road trip to Grampians national park. My Purdue friend Laura is in Sydney for the summer, and she comes down for a visit to join my housemate Chris and me for the weekend. It is winter at this time of year, so it's a bit chilly outside.

The place we stayed was really quite nice, very tranquil and homey. There were some really awesome wildlife just outside, as well.

After  almost 6 months, I finally make my first kangaroo sighting. They are everywhere, too. This
is right outside our hostel. I even within a foot of one and he never spooked. They seemed pretty
indifferent as to my existence. 

Here are some in the woods right off the footpath about 300m into the woods. Again, they
saw us and didn't much care.

Some birds outside our room.

We took two big hikes up to peaks during the two days we were there. They each took about 2 hours each way.

One of the narrow footpaths to the top. No fatties allowed.

Scenery from the top.

A view of the top of Pennacle, also know as Pride Rock.

Here I explained to Simba that everywhere the light touches is our kingdom.

Here's all of us on the second peak.

Another waterfall we visited.

Grampians was a great note to go out on. Now it's just trying to save money so I have some until I get home.
