The Grampians National Park
Aboriginal Heritage and sunning panoramic views. The Grampians is well known to offer the much needed weekend break to the city dwellers.
Where to stay at the Grampians?
Halls Gap, offers a plethora of Caravan park, holiday Park and motels to choose from. If your travelling with family then i would say choose a family Cabin in the Caravan Park. I stayed at the Halls Gap Caravan Gardens. Click in the link below to book
Travel Tip:
Almost all the Caravan Parks have Kangaroos , wallabies and Emu at the backyard. So if you think you have missed a date with them, don’t worry you can catch them over an early morning tea.
Adjacent to the Balconies is the Boroka Lookout, this expansive area offers rugged and remote bushwalk views against the Aboriginal rock shelters. Perfect platform to see and capture some wonderful memories in the mountains.
The Grampians , mount William offers a plethora of beauty to praise. The balconies are the well known ones to all the tours to Grampians. Stand still and absorb all the beauty the Mount William peaks offer. The Observation deck is well barricaded and you can capture as many memories as you can.
- The Balconies
Situated only 20 mins drive from Halls Gap, this place takes you on a drive through the steep mountains. Ideal if you’re travelling with kids and don’t want to do an exhaustive walking and climbing. Just 1 km walk each way from the Boroka Lookout platform.
Stony Creek Campground
Perched in the heart of the Halls Gap, this place is kids paradise, grab your food and drinks here and head towards the Venus Bath and the Stony Creek Campground for trial walks.
Boroka Lookout
Reed Lookout
This lookout was the highlight of the Grampian National Park, while you drive from the Halls Gap towards the Mount Difficult road, the balconies would fall on your right. Take the left turn towards the Mt. Difficult road and at the end of that road would be the car Park for the Reed Lookout.
Brambuk :The National Park and Cultural Centre
Ideal place to pay a visit with kids to learn about the Aboriginal culture and history there are some short bushwalks through wetlands that you can undertake with kids. With the post COVID situation, few activities are still restricted in the cultural center. Get refreshed, grab a map and head towards the lookout.
Mackenzie Falls
Take a detour to the Mt Victory road, towards the Mackenzie falls towards the Northern Grampians. Swimming is not permitted , however there is an observatory deck for your picture taking opportunity.
Goahead and enjoy a great weekend in the Grampians, you can also plan solo a day trip but i always prefer to take breaks in between.
