6 Days: Easy/Moderate Grade: Farmstay Accommodation
The beautiful Grampians rise abruptly from the surrounding plains of Victoria's western districts. Their rock formations, towering cliffs, and the diversity of their flora and fauna have attracted visitors and walkers since the 1860s.
Alternating high rocky ridges and wooded valleys have created a wide range of habitats. The park contains almost one third of Victoria's native flora species, many of them endemic and endangered.

There are also over seventy known sites of Aboriginal rock art in this area that the indigenous people call Gariwerd.

Our tour explores a different feature each day; the fantastic rock formations of the Wonderland, moist and shady fern gullies and waterfalls. We spend one day walking up to one of the best look-outs in the area and another day walking to some of the Aboriginal painting sites. We see kangaroos, koalas, possums, colourful birdlife, and wild deer.

We stay on a pastoral property in the picturesque Mafeking Valley, scene of the last gold-rush in Victoria in 1900.

This tour may be joined in The Grampians.
