The Grampians

For visitors into serious adventure and high adrenalin outdoor activities, Victoria’s Grampians region offers an abundance of adventure activities, superb national and state parks and a diverse array of native wildlife. Located just three hours’ drive west of Melbourne, visitors can take time out to be inspired by stunning vistas and unspoiled natural beauty and relax in tranquil surrounds.

The natural beauty of the Grampians region manifests itself in the Grampians National Park, which features walking trails, waterfalls, scenic lookouts, wildlife and seasonal wildflowers.

The Grampians region is one of Victoria's main centres for rock climbing and abseiling. Other popular outdoor activities include fishing and boating in the region's unique inland system of lakes and rivers.

Don’t miss Brambuk, the National Park and Cultural Centre, where visitors can learn about local Aboriginal culture. A major attraction is its collection of native Aboriginal art sites.

The Grampians region is also one of Australia’s richest and most diverse flora areas. Spring is the best time to see wildflowers throughout the region, but there are many plants in flower throughout the year. Discover 1000 species of flowers, 24 of which are found only in the Grampians and 12 of which are found only in the Little Desert National Park.
