Grampians National Park

Discover grand and rugged mountain ranges, spectacular wildflower displays, a wide range of outdoor recreational opportunities, and a wealth of Aboriginal rock art sites in the Grampians National Park.

The Grampians are a series of five spectacular sandstone ridges running north to south with steep and craggy slopes on the eastern side and gentler slopes to the west. They are the result of earth movements lifting and tilting the hard sandstones creating an impressive landscape of peaks and valleys. There are lookouts with stunning panoramic views as well as a number of picturesque waterfalls.

The park enjoys a rich and colourful spring wildflower display, best seen from August to October. Heath lands come to life with colourful shows of Grampians Boronia, Blue Pin-cushion Lily, and a multitude of other herbs and shrubs. The park is also home to a profusion of native animals and birds. You can find kangaroos, koalas, emus, wedge-tailed eagles and more. Zumstein picnic ground is a popular kangaroo viewing area.

A major attraction of the park is its collection of native Aboriginal art sites. Aboriginal people have a long association with the Grampians and there are many shelters in the park where you can see ancient art work including Billimina Shelter, Gulgurn Manja Shelter, Manja Shelter and Ngamadjidj Shelter.

A multitude of outdoor activities can be enjoyed within the park; from bushwalking and rock climbing, to fishing and canoeing. There are numerous walking tracks catering for everything from the casual stroll to the overnight trek. Superb water stretches such as Lake Bellfield and Lake Wartook provide a haven for fishermen and are also popular with canoeists, while the rocky crags are ideal for rock climbing and abseiling.

Nestled beside the Wonderland Range is the town of Halls Gap, a great base for exploring the park, and home to Brambuk - The National Park & Cultural Centre where you can discover more about the park’s natural and cultural features.
