This sediment slowly accumulated to a depth of 7 km; this was later raised and tilted for its present form. Forty million years ago the Southern Ocean reached the base of the northern and western base of the mountain range, the deposition from the range forming the sea floor which is now Little Desert National Park.<br /><br /><b>The highest peak is Mount William at 1167 metres.</b> Numerous waterfalls are found in the park and are easily accessible via a well-developed road network."</i> -- <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grampians_National_Park" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a>Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02678687120165473412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439899549982535994.post-9122999095360068562014-10-13T07:23:46.495+11:002014-10-13T07:23:46.495+11:00Those mountains look pretty nice.
