What you can actually see
Full Itinerary
Morning
Depart Melbourne and journey through picturesque Victorian countryside full of vibrant wildflowers; take a morning break in one of those quaint towns. Arriving at Grampians National Park, find yourself immersed in the culture of Aboriginal people at Brambuk for further exploration of the history, Aboriginal culture and ancient rock art sites. Here, we will have an opportunity to interact with interactive displays and perhaps see traditional dance performances that maintain the community’s indigenous culture existence.
Afternoon
See the amazing views of the Grampians National Park as you visit Reeds Lookout and The Balconies. Get spectacular views of an area with fascinating rock formations and a lush landscape. Trek to the bottom of MacKenzie Falls or enjoy Silverband Falls’ calm beauty!
The way to MacKenzie Falls is through different bushland hiking trails that offer awesome scenery. Therefore, it provides several opportunities for photos and moments of tranquillity in meditation along the paths.
Alternatively, we can visit Silverband Falls, which gives us a chance to enjoy nature with fewer crowds of people and plenty of native animals around us. Let yourself relax viewing fantastic panoramic sights seen from Boroka Outlook or, in case of extreme weather conditions, Lake Bellfield. While Boroka Outlook provides a scenic vision over the surrounding valley, Lake Bellfield is very peaceful.
Evening
As you explore the Grampians National Park, always be vigilant enough to spot kangaroos among other wild animals in the Halls Gap. In fact, these Australian animals are more active at night time; hence, they can be spotted during this period ahead of darkness. As our day tour is coming to an end, we return back home having experienced the best of what the Grampians can offer and having the most comfortable journey possible.
