Grampians | Victoria
The Grampians offers an abundance of holiday accommodation and adventure activities. The superb national and state parks provide a diverse array of native wildlife, picturesque walking tracks and breathtaking scenic attractions. Discover grand and rugged mountain ranges, spectacular wildflower displays, a wide range of outdoor recreational opportunities, and a wealth of Aboriginal rock art sites.
The Grampians are a series of five spectacular sandstone ridges running north to south with steep and craggy slopes on the eastern side and gentler slopes to the west. There are lookouts with stunning panoramic views as well as a number of picturesque waterfalls.
The park enjoys a rich and colourful spring wildflower display, best seen from August to October. Heath lands come to life with colourful shows of Grampians Boronia, Blue Pin-cushion Lily, and a multitude of other herbs and shrubs. The park is also home to a profusion of native animals and birds. You can find kangaroos, koalas, emus, wedge-tailed eagles and more. Zumstein picnic ground is a popular kangaroo viewing area.
A multitude of outdoor activities can be enjoyed within the park; from bushwalking and rock climbing, to fishing and canoeing. There are numerous walking tracks catering for everything from the casual stroll to the overnight trek. Superb water stretches such as Lake Bellfield and Lake Wartook provide a haven for fishermen and are also popular with canoeists, while the rocky crags are ideal for rock climbing and abseiling.
Halls Gap, a great base for exploring the park, and Dunkeld at the Southern edge of the Grampains offers luxury accommodation and dining.
