The best time to visit the Grampians is late winter to early summer – you will be sure to see wildflowers. The spectacular scenery inlcudes bare peaks, sheer-sided cliffs, plunging valleys thick with red gums and fern filled gullies. Within the 160000 hectare National Park is an incredible array of wildlife, including 200 species of bird, and a quarter of Victoria’s native flora species.
The best way to enjoy the Grampians is to get onto the 160km network of well marked walking trails ranging from easy to challenging. Boroka and Reed Lookout offer spectacular elevated views and you can see right out over the flat plains of Western Victoria. MacKenzie Falls, the largest of the park’s many waterfalls is worth the steep walk.
Aboriginal occupation of this region dates back thousands of years and there is a rich heritage of rock art – all of which is protected by the Grampians National Park.
The Grampains are one of Victoria’s premier destinations and there is a fantastic assortment of accommodation from bush camping to luxury resorts as well as other facilities for visitors to the area.
