Departing Melbourne at around 8.00am, you will pass through Western Plains of Victoria on your way to historic Ballarat. Learn a little about history as you enjoy some morning tea here at the site of the infamous Eureka Rebellion.

Continuing on your drive you will pass through the town of Moyston, the birthplace of Australian Rules Football. Then, you'll arrive at the foot of the Grampians Range or Gariwerd in the local Jardwadjali language. On arrival, you can immerse yourself in the Australian bush with a gentle stroll to the delightful Silverband Falls. Next, you'll make your way into the township of Halls Gap for lunch (own expense). Keep an eye open for the local kangaroos that can be seen in the main street.

After lunch, head out for a short hike to the Grand Canyon. Marvel at the high rising rock walls, crisscrossed with layering and fault lines, showcasing the area’s unique geology. Stunning panoramas await at Reeds & Boroka Lookouts which overlook the towering Stringybark Forest, Victoria Valley & Halls Gap. The next stop is MacKenzie Falls. No trip to the Grampians would be complete without a visit to these majestic falls. Walk the Bluff trail along the top of the cliffs to the panoramic viewpoint of the falls, or journey down the stairs to the base of the steep gorge and gaze up at this truly impressive waterfall.

Then make your way back into Halls Gap for a final opportunity to spot some of the area’s wild kangaroo population.
