Grampians National Park
This series of craggy,grey cliff faces interspersed with forest and water features is a great park to explore. There are many spectacular viewing points but, most require a fair bit of walking effort to get to. The park is also the best place to view Victoria's largest variety of wildflowers, with the best viewings being September and October.
Halls Gap
Mount Abrupt
As the name suggests this mountain just pops out of nowhere. A popular climb in the Grampians area, it is an 827metre single peak, that is climbed on a steep winding track. It is likely to take two hours to climb so make sure you take a drink. Once at the top the 360 degree views are worth the climb. Mount Abrupt Road
