Overview
Departing Melbourne at around 8am, you'll pass through Western Plains of Victoria on the way to historic Ballarat. Ballarat boomed in the 1850’s with the widespread discovery of gold in the district. Learn a little about the history and enjoy morning tea at the site of the infamous Eureka Rebellion. Continue the drive through the picturesque western volcanic plains, passing through the town of Moyston, the birthplace of Australian Rules Football.
Arrive at the foot of the Grampians Range known as Gariwerd in the local Jardwadjali language and immerse yourself in the Australian bush with a gentle stroll to Silverband Falls.
Continue to the township of Halls Gap for lunch. Keep an eye open for the local kangaroos and the abundant birdlife that can be seen in the main street. After lunch, head to the Wonderland Turntable for a short hike to the Grand Canyon.
Your last stop is MacKenzie Falls. No trip to the Grampians would be complete without a visit to these majestic falls.

Reviews
Walks are moderate to strenuous depending on your fitness level, but very much worth the effort.
Opportunity to see wild kangaroos and emus, small lizards and birds in their natural environment.
Highly recommended day out.
The Grampians National Park is worth a visit. The rock formations are fabulous. From the “step-shaped” mountain tops of sheer sandstone rock, to the “pancake” shaped rocks at the Grand Canyon walk, everywhere held stunning views.
There was plenty to do and see. Halls Creek was laid back, and a great spot to stop for lunch. The choices were yummy: bakery pies, home made fudge, and ice cream from different shops.
The tour was varied from walking in “The Grand Canyon” of the Grampians, to a series of special observation points with panoramic views of the Grampians. We also had the choice of viewing and/or walking to Mackenzie Falls. So this trip caters for active or laid back travellers.
I was warmed by Aaron’s passion for the area, and his pride in showing off another aspect of Victoria. As a mature aged solo traveller, he looked after me, and his friendly approach helped to “make my day”. Well done Aaron.
Tip- Sometimes we were just rushing from place to place.
We could spend some more time
We had a great time , Aaron had patience and gave us ample time , waited for everyone to board before we left for the next adventure. A trip will be well remembered. Thank you “Aaron.”
