kept on a lead for the sake of the emus and
kangaroos that stroll or hop through the
property as if they own it.
FAMILY PROPERTY
The land has been owned by the family for
more than 60 years and was used for farming
merino sheep, dairy cows and chickens for
many years. Nowadays, the Honeymans graze
sheep so they ask campers to close the gate
when they go out.
When I went out to get some pictures to
go with this story, I received a very pleasant
surprise: I found four caravans grouped
together and their owners were all Australian
Caravan Club members from South Australia
and, of course, I'd met most of them before at
club functions. Naturally, we sat around and
yarned for a quite a while but I did manage to
take a few good photos before I left!
The Old Man Emu bush camp is very popular
for families – at $15 a night, it's fantastic
value! When they arrive, visitors are given
a leaflet about the park that includes fire
emergency information, a brochure with maps
of Halls Gap, Stawell and the Grampians
National Park, and a comprehensive guide
to the Grampians. There is also a very
informative visitor's centre in Halls Gap.
