Grampians

Find some of Victoria’s most stunning landscapes, along with fascinating history, sublime food and wine and buzzing regional centres in the Grampians region, on the lands of the Eastern Maar, the Gunditjmara and Dja Dja Wurrung peoples and the Wotjobaluk, Jaadwa, Jadawadjali, Wergaia and Jupagulk peoples of the Wotjobaluk Nations.

Rising out of the plains of western Victoria, the rugged mountain ranges of the Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park mark the centre of this region and offer plenty of opportunity for outdoor adventure. The impressive ranges are renowned for their unspoilt natural beauty and feature lookouts with stunning panoramic views, picturesque waterfalls, ancient Aboriginal rock art, colourful wildflowers and abundant native wildlife.

Base yourself in the town of Halls Gap, picturesquely situated in the heart of Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park for wonderful views of Wonderland and Mt William ranges. Go a little further off the beaten track and make Pomonal or Dunkeld your base for exploring the park. Explore historic gold rush towns such as Ararat, known for its Gum San Museum that reveals the history of Chinese gold miners, or Stawell, home of the prestigious annual Stawell Gift foot race. Seek more cultural fulfilment in the friendly agricultural towns of Horsham and Hamilton, known for their galleries, gardens and museums.
