Consistently getting bad meals for our family, we paid $40 for 4 pieces of fish that were the same size if not smaller then the palm of my hand. Calamari rings are flavourless, chips are average, fish was average. Nothing from our last 5 deliveries tells us to keep ordering dinner from you guys. Will be going to extra 15 minutes into Mildura for our fish and chip dinners.

Toppings are super fresh, dough was perfect and arrived steaming hot! Cooked to perfection! Go on Spoil yourself..You deserve it!

I have always left good reviews in the past for Big Lizzie, regardless of mistakes and there has been several throughout the years. However this time it is absolutely unacceptable. My parter has been up all night vomiting as she is allergic to onion. The number 17 is not even meant to have ONION so we shouldn't even have to ask for NO ONION on it. We will never order here again. The pizzas and service have really gone downhill in the past few years.

Hi Tonight we had fish n chips from Big Lizzie Red Cliffs . I just wanted to let you know whilst we are appreciative of the hard work that you put in, (I know as I used to work in a fish n chip shop in Melbourne) I do have to say that we were disappointed, especially the fried food. It was overcooked, very fatty and the potato cakes were very paper thin, almost to the extent of just eating batter. It was not enjoyable. I also understand that it is a fast food shop, but I believe the cooking skills leaves alot to be desired. I am in no way trying to cause any problems, but I do believe in better service in this way. We did spend almost $60 for 2 people and we think it could have been a whole lot better. With that said we did enjoy the souvlaki and the hamburger. Thankyou I would like to add a photo but there is no provision for one.
Paula V — Google review
Absolutely love this place, order there once a week. Chips are always soft and fluffy on the inside while crispy on the outside, the pizzas they make are top notch, and their schnitzel burgers are the best thing I ever had.
Lauchlan S — Google review
I’m gluten free so battered fish is off the menu for me. The very last houghful girl behind the counter offered me a grilled fish and just prior to serving it up realises grilled fish is floured. She alerted me and offered to cook again without flour which I really appreciated. 10 points for thinking if he customer.
Jessica C — Google review
Falsely advertised prices and very rude people. Small pizza advertised online and in store for $13.50. When ordered we were charged $14. When questioned were told there were more prices on the board than pizzas (irrelevant) and that his system said $14 so that was the price. Only when photo taken of menu board did dark haired woman storm over and demand to know price difference and slam 50 cents on counter. Pizza itself was mediocre at best. How many people have they ripped off this way? As to reply: not sure how we were apparently rude we were just asking the question, had this been explained to us at the time we may have been more understanding but the reply we got along with the attitude was unbelievable.

This was where I started the trail. The post office opens at 10am on the Saturday. Grab a coffee, the blond shop keeper was so polite and made a killer cup of coffee. There's snake and all sorts of snacks. The colour full toilets across the road was amazingly clean. Be aware, Google does take you around the back for this silo.

Absolutely amazing artwork in a beautiful little town providing a unique experience and a true Australian experience. The silos are astounding, and set against the scrubby backdrop it truly makes you stop (literally and figuratively). Taking in all the silos was a fantastic experience and a brilliant notion to attract tourism to areas that would normally be bypassed.

Really fascinating place for camping, bushwalking and bird watching. Mallee eucalypts, river red gums, black box, dry lakes & creeks. Main camp ground is spacious, good facilities. Very few people there when we visited on the Anzac Day long weekend. We had beautiful blue skies in the day, clear sky at night with brilliant view of stars.

Stephan K — Google review
A great quiet spot to camp, could of just been quiet when we were there. Drop toilets only and your able to have a fire in the designated fire pits, don't bother bringing or buying any wood as there is so much dead branches lying around you will have a fire for days, maybe just a small axe to make your life easier. The only issue with this place is was actually quiet axe sive for 2 people to camp and the same price if we went to a caravan park with flushing toilets and showers, I understand the funds go towards maintaining the park however I was a little shocked in the cost. Good location to set up camp for a few days to explore the area as there is so much walking and 4wd if this is your interest. All the wildlife aswell, we saw kangaroos, emu, snakes, hawks, and so many of local birds. Great spot and we will be back

Glorious in winter; if you like solitude this is the place to be! The Discovery Walking Track offers an easy sampling of the parks delights. However do take care when opening the information boxes, many also host a resident huntsman!

Beautiful campground, maintained by the community. It's donation based. There are spotless toilets, hot showers and a campground kitchen with potable water. Plenty of bins. When we arrived we circled the lake to get our bearings in regards to the orientation. It was end of the week, school holidays so there was a few campers around. We chose a spot right on the water, facing west, so we had a beautiful sunset from the camper. Next day we took the hike to the larger adjacent lake. Really nice campground, don't forget to donate for your stay!

Had a wonderful private tour of this historic homestead. Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable and did not hide his passion for the property.

These GrainCorp silos were built in 1939 and are now decommissioned. Artist Guido van Helten’s, finished his artwork in 2016, depicting four female and male farmers of the Wimmera Mallee region. The Brim Grain Silo's were the first to be painted, and its success inspired the establishment of the Silo Art Trail.
Garry P — Google review
A good parking area on the other side of the road with a few shaded tables. The pub is closed. What a shame. Don't park near the silo, you might not get the full view.
Chandi D — Google review
The father of all silo arts in Australia! This mighty silo art started the chain reaction of silo arts across Australia. It was painted by the Brisbane Street artist Guido van Helten in 2015. This is now one of the 6 silo arts in the 200km silo arts trail from Melbourne. I am so proud of our great artists, bringing out the souls of the very village they represent - the many many remote little towns and communities that adds so much depth, history and meaning to what the huge Australia continent is all about! Little little places where big crops grow, providing food to Australia and beyond! I just love getting out there, giving them whatever support aiming for a self sustaining Australia!

Majestic and so high definition. It's just mind boggling that the artist was able to create so much detail on such a difficult and large canvas. The images of Aboriginal people are surreal.

Camped at horseshoe bend, great paid campsite on the river. You must book online. Lovely swim in the river, flushing toilets and fireworks. No other amenities. Lots of kookaburras... And they are not afraid to steal your food from your plate. They were flying under our awning to steal food .. Even tried to grab the lamb out of the camp oven, still in the flames! (We did not feed them at all) leave nothing but footprints! 4WD ing some very soft sandy tracks through the park was a bit of fun. (If anyone finds the top 1/3rd of a sand flag... It's ours) lots of kangaroos speed around the waterfront holes, emus and other Birdlife.
Connie F — Google review
Spent 2 days here and never saw another car, i guess with it's big brother not far away this little desert might get overlooked. Well worth the adventure. Didn't need to air down the sand was sticky due to the time of year. Easy enough to avoid the large mud holes in the road so a modest 4wd will get you there.

Built in 1941–42 as emergency wheat storage during WWII, this massive shed is held up entirely by huge unmilled mountain‑ash poles — it’s incredible that it’s still standing after all these years 😲. Fair dinkum, the scale of it will leave you gobsmacked 😮! The lady who sold me the ticket was full of history and super excited to share it 👏. Before you go in, there’s a quick three-minute video to give you the backstory, plus two other spots inside where you can learn more about the workers and hear their stories 🌾. It’s a National Heritage‑listed gem and a proper tribute to rural Aussie ingenuity. Definitely worth a detour if you’re travelling through country Victoria — a real piece of living history that’s well worth a sticky beak 😉.

An unexpected but delightful tourist attraction. So interesting and a significant part of our war time history. The inside movie was very informative and the guide was helpful. Overall though it was awe inspiring to walk through and imagine constructing this in war time.

Much more than expected. The last of its kind. A piece of Australian history to be treasured. It's hard to imagine how it was built in its day.

Amazing. It’s massive, think big…. Then it’s bigger than that. Great informative video on loop in the information centre. Easy walk to the end.

What a brilliant stop on the Silo Art Trail! The new Rupanyup Silo Art by Aussie street artist Smug is absolutely stunning — bold, detailed and full of local heart. The mix of golden paddocks, farming life and those cheeky little blue wrens gives it a real Aussie charm. It perfectly captures the spirit of the Wimmera — proud, hardworking and connected to the land. Pull over for a photo, stretch the legs and soak it in — it’s country creativity at its finest. A top spot for art lovers, bird watchers or anyone who just loves a good a bit of colour in the bush.

Mitre Rock has been a favorite locals destination for over 180 years. It has very easy access, which is especially important for those who are elderly, young or with disabilities. Mitre Rock also provides wonderful panoramic views of nearby Mt Arapiles and the Little Desert. For beginners, Mitre Rock is one of the regions best and most important rock-climbing areas and is especially loved by school children who can be found exploring it's many hidden gullies and boulders.

Michael J — Google review
I finally made the trip to Mount Arapiles and wow, it lived up to every bit of the hype. As a visiting climber, I was blown away by the sheer volume and quality of routes. Arapiles is a trad climber’s dream: perfect gear placements, beautiful sandstone, and routes that are both mentally and physically engaging. The climbing community here is incredibly welcoming. I arrived solo and left with new friends, belay partners, and unforgettable memories. The Pines campground has this laid-back, communal vibe that makes you feel instantly at home. Sunrise coffee with a view of the Organ Pipes? Magic. Sunset walks to the summit? Even better. What really struck me was the sense of history and respect for the land climbers here really care about this place. And so they should. Arapiles is more than just a crag; it’s a sacred site for climbers around the world. I’m already counting the days until I can return.

Beautiful area for walking relaxing and photography road up is good but narrow not difficult at all just beware of cars coming the other way some tend to think there invincible. And that speed limits are for others not them. Campgrounds looked full but didnt stay so cant comment. Rock climbers were out in force and enjoyed watching them scale the cliffs but not for me 🤣🤣 Highly recommended just take care .

An 8-acre landscaped garden dating back to the late 1800's with rose gardens, picnic & play areas.
Staying next door and had a leisurely walk when the rain stopped. Lovely garden. Look well maintained! Double thumbs up to the care taker👍👍😃 Very clean, neat and tidy👍👍. Free entry to the garden. Some of the plants starting showing changing colour, when they fully changed, it would be more beautiful! Perfect place for family picnic. Toilets provided. I think there are 3 entrances to the park. Plenty of parkings. Unfortunately no dogs allowed tho. Highly recommend this when you come to the area.

A must see place in Horsham. For that matter you can't go past this beautiful botanical garden without noticing it (if driving towards Anzac centenary bridge, Weir park, etc.) A well manicured, well maintained botanical garden with variety of Flowers, shrubs, plants, trees etc makes for an enjoyable walkabout. There's also a children's playground and barbeque area with toilet facilities etc towards the rear side of this botanical garden. Overall, it's a Good place to spend some time in Horsham.

Weir park in Horsham is an excellent place to spend some time in. There's a playground for the kids, bbq facilities with water taps, sitting facilities with benches, toilets etc. Look out for plenty of small green Parrots on the grassy areas under the trees. And because this park is situated on the banks of the Wimmera river, it offers plenty of good fishing spots too (although there were hardly any catches, but many anglers were trying their luck anyway (including us) over the weekend!) And if that's not enough, there's a good walking/Cycling trail which goes to the opposite side of the river as well. There's also an angling club nearby. So, no chance of -- "Getting Bored" around here whether you are a Kiddie, Youngie, or an Oldie. And if you do or say so... well then, you may feel weird in Weir park!😅

Great covered playground with BBQ facilities and toilets. Love the little boat the kids can play in. Great climbing rope and some smaller equipment for smaller kids. All fenced in so you don't have to worry about them running off. Close to the river so can admire the wildlife. Have a BBQ is great they are clean and easy to use. Big car parking area. Great place for the kids to burn some energy 👌😆

Horsham is one of my favourite Victorian country towns. If you're there, you must come to the Weir Park. Lots to do, walks by the river, picnic or BBQ, playgrounds for the kids, you can walk the dog, ride your bike, or jsut take a snooze on the grass. There are toilets, park benches and picnic tables. Plenty of parking, and only a short distance from central Horsham. You can even jump in the river for a swim!

Giant Koala

Tourist information center
Just a quick stop for fun. Lots of Oz souvenirs, cafe etc. Note no public toilets, only for paying customers. But good photo ops of all the big things we have over Australia.
Andrea H — Google review
The souvenirs shop inside the Giant Koala was closed when I passed by it after 4pm during my road trip from Adelaide to Melbourne in Easter holiday. The Giant Koala situated at Dadswell Bridge between Stawell and Horsham, and it is one of Australia’s iconic “Big things”. If they are open when you are driving along the Western Highway, you may take a break and stop for a snack or meal at the restaurant next to the Koala, or buy souvenirs and gifts inside the Koala. The Koala looked a bit weird and I just wanted to ask the designer why the Koala looked quite unhappy and for what reason the designer put some hairs inside the Koala's ears?😳 The Koala sculpture was erected in 1988, 37 years ago, so I am unsure if the designer can still answer my queries.
Pat C — Google review
The Giant Koala shifts with the sky — brooding beneath storm clouds, gentle in the morning sun. Australia’s biggest koala and one of the nation’s beloved “Big Things,” it has weathered years of bushfires, droughts, floods, and the pandemic, standing as a quiet symbol of resilience on the road to the Grampians. Inside, the café and souvenir shop run by Pat and Doug for over a decade carry an old charm that feels like stepping back in time. The old zoo may be gone, but the spirit of the place remains. Pause for a coffee, take home a plush toy or keepsake, and share a photo with this Aussie icon. Support it, so the Giant Koala’s many moods can be seen by generations to come.
Robert T — Google review
A gangsta in full costume was dancing in front of The Giant Koala when we arrived. He look like a serious G so we decided to let him finish dancing and I think they were shooting a music video because everywhere he danced, his camera-woman would follow. After 25 minutes my daughter got restless and just wanted to take her photo in front of The Giant Koala and go home because The Giant Koala was making her feel uncomfortable. G had plenty of energy because we waited a further 15 minutes for him to stop his hippity hop dance. It was captivating and irritating at the same time. Watching it was like staring into a campfire late at night when you feel sleepy and it’s drawing you in. So much so did we both feel it that my daughter suggested he was actually a wizard of sorts that was doing spells instead of dancing. After he finished, we shook off our campfire daze and approached The Giant Koala and asked it permission for a quick photo. Its eyes proceeded to pour out of its head like sand so maybe he was a wizard.

We had a great time with Steve and the bikes. The experience was really enjoyable and Steve was a very good host. He made sure all of us were comfortable and safe througout the session. Recommended for anyone who wants to have an adventure in the wilderness on a Quad Bike.. And many thanks to Steve again... :)
Libalf L — Google review
I usually don't leave bad reviews, but this was one of the worst and most upsetting experiences I have ever had whilst on holidays! The quad biking itself was fun but all was ruined for me by the owner/instructor Steve's downright nasty attitude. As a first time quad biker, I felt berated (strong word but warranted) every time I made a mistake. Every time I didn't brake hard enough, one time stopping over the designated stopping line and one time bumping (not smashing) into the person in front of me, and the two times when the bike got stuck in the mud, I felt nothing but intense frustration from him, instead of supportiveness, and was chastised, every time. Steve's behaviour may have been appropriate for reckless behaviour, but it was completely unwarranted for someone genuinely paying attention and doing every manoeuvre to the best of their ability, and even doing very well during the practices. We were just tourists and first time quad bikers wanting to have a fun time. All in all, his impatience, abrasiveness and bad-temper completely ruined what would have been a fun experience. Instead, it was one of the worst and frankly most upsetting experiences I have had in recent years. If you are considering joining them, I would recommend either catching him on a good day, or making no mistakes during your session.

Great place to go for a trail ride! Cameron is a fantastic instructor and will give you mini lessons throughout your trail ride!

Had the absolute best time at Grampians Horse Riding. Such friendly and down to earth people, felt so welcome. My horse for the ride Jasper was a perfect fit for me being a beginner.

Had a private tour today with Grampians horse riding centre. Definitely recommend going for a ride here! The surroundings are beautiful, and you get clear explanations about the key aspects of horse riding. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced, the tour is customized to your level. The horses are well cared for! What’s great is that it’s not just about the ride, you also get to help with grooming and saddling the horses.

Matthew H — Google review
This is more than just your average trail riding centre. If you enjoy well educated quality horses then this is for you. Safety is always a priority but balanced with fun engaging exercises. Cameron respects his horses and expects you to do the same. He has a wealth of equine knowledge to offer if you're willing to be educated and is not afraid to keep you in check or alternatively allow you to ride ahead if capable. The scenery is magic and you will come away refreshed and more confident in your skills. We had a group of four riders from absolute beginner to rusty old keen 'wanna be' and all thoroughly beamed after our ride! Can't wait to have the privilege to ride with you again Cameron. Good luck with those non equine ventures and hope you have recovered from those renovation induced injuries;).

Boroka Lookout

Mentioned on

Vista point
Sights & Landmarks
Boroka Lookout offers stunning views of mountain ranges, lakes, and plains from its cliffside viewing platforms. It serves as the starting point for a 12.4-km return walk and is also accessible via a medium-grade 9.6-km Wonderland Loop Track that includes Splitters Falls and the Pinnacle. Reeds Lookout, just a short drive away, provides easy access to breathtaking views with wheelchair-accessible paths.
Great place and amazing view, only 1 minute walk near park, very convenient. The sign to here also very clear and easy to get. For those who don't like walk but wanna watch great view, here would be a best choice.
Johnny S — Google review
Speechless. Incredible lookout! It's a quick stroll to the lookout, you can see the lookout from the carpark! suitable for everyone of all abilities. If you want to go for a longer walk there are some more challenging trails surrounding the platform that allow you to take in the views. It's very high up so it's very cold, bring a jacket and some warm pants! Unless it's summer of course. I could stay up there for hours just taking in the view, a must see of the Grampians!
Karen — Google review
On that rainy day, the viewing platform I had been so looking forward to visiting seemed draped in a delicate veil. Thick mist concealed the distant mountains and the horizon, turning what should have been a wide, open view into something hazy and unreal. In that moment, a touch of disappointment welled up in me, as though I had missed the chance to see the most beautiful painting. Yet, as the light rain tapped gently against the railing and the fog drifted slowly with the wind, a different kind of charm emerged—the world felt quiet and mysterious, like stepping into an unfinished ink painting. Although I wasn’t able to witness the vast and magnificent scenery I had hoped for, I could still sense the allure of nature. And perhaps it was this very incompleteness that became a new source of anticipation. In my heart, I made a quiet promise: next time, on a clear and sunny day, I will return to let this unfinished landscape find its perfect ending in my memory.
Leo L — Google review
Guys, don’t miss this place! We actually planned to come for the sunrise but couldn’t make it, and still — it was absolutely beautiful. You can visit anytime of the day and it’s worth it. I’d say this is one of the best lookout points in the Grampians. It’s super easy to access, just a short two to three minute walk from the parking area, and there’s plenty of parking too. It’s also accessible for people with disabilities, which is great. Definitely one of the places I’d highly recommend!
Aksa T — Google review
Absolutely stunning views from this lookout across the valley! Short drive from Halls Gap through windy roads, signs will lead the way. Less than a minute walk from the car park with no steps/stairs, accessible for everyone. There’s a viewing point on the left where you look over the cliff rocks towards the dam and another lookout to the right where you can directly see the dam. There’s drop toilets by the car park too. A must see! ⛰️

Venus Baths, located just off Mount Victory Road in the Grampians, is a natural wonder featuring crystal-clear rock pools and small rapids fed by Stony Creek. The area's freshwater lake and rock pools with slides make it an ideal spot for cooling off during hot summer days or after a long hike on the surrounding trails. Surrounded by majestic hill ranges, Venus Baths offers a unique destination suitable for families, honeymooners, and backpackers.
Peaceful and stunning natural spot! Venus Baths was such a beautiful surprise. The short walk to get there was easy and scenic, with plenty of spots to stop and take in the views. The rock pools were crystal clear and so refreshing—perfect for a little dip on a warm day. Surrounded by gum trees and the sounds of nature, it felt like our own private oasis. Great spot to relax, take photos, or just sit and enjoy the moment. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in the Grampians!

This is a picturesque 20 - 30 minute walk from the botanical gardens car park. Mainly flat but a range of surfaces so not wheelchair friendly or for those with mobility challenges. Low fitness level required. Worth the walk to the lovely Venus baths where you can cool your feet in the rock pools. Great for kids to frolick but there is an area where there is a drop off into a deep pool just off the rocks so be mindful.

Nestled in the serene Australian Bush Land, Pinnacle Holiday Lodge offers a natural country retreat with a variety of accommodation options. From rooms and cottages with whirlpool baths to self-contained cabins on lush farmland, there's something for everyone. The lodge is conveniently located in the heart of Halls Gap, providing spectacular views and easy access to town amenities. Guests can enjoy the heated indoor pool and may even spot kangaroos grazing outside their windows.
When you consider the price here, this is a great place in my opinion. Yes it is older, and I’m guessing there might be a time that this will happen, and then the prices will increase and I’ll be disappointed. I am a return customer and have booked in my third visit next month. If you miss the older style motel rooms that mean you’re not on top of each other you’re set. Plenty of space, large older style rooms with everything we needed and then some. Heaps of pillows, blankets and the kitchen has everything you need to make a basic meal. There’s no stove, but you’ve got a microwave, electric frypan, toaster and kettle. Plenty of plates, cutlery and things to help you at a bbq. There’s basic toiletry supplies, extra toilet paper etc. As I was about to leave my review I saw a few others. My room was clean, no odour, sheets/beds well made and clean until I pulled them back to take photos. Shower/bathroom and toilet were also clean as was the kitchen. I’m willing to say there’s some dust under the bed, but I’m not disappointed in that. Again it is older, but look at my photos, go through some of my other reviews on here. I travel a lot, and often on a budget. I’m happy I’ve got another visit here to look forward to, mostly because I’ve come here to spend time outdoors, not just in our accommodation.

I regret to hear that my three days stay at Hall's Gap did not meet my comfort expectations. Incompetent & arrogant is the only way I could describe the staff. Front desk guys were worst & indifferent. They never returned my calls; definitely a lack of professionalism. Misleading Information was the key factor. On the website it specifies "warm salt water" but instead we ended up with a freezing cold swimming pool, mind you this was on day two of our stay. On the first day the pool was completely locked up! My experience at the lodge was not positive therefore I won't be recommending this place.

Great location. Units had everything needed. Kitchenette, TV, basic crockery. Barely any hot water very intermittent, no cold tap required. Main bed extremely hard. Very worn towels. Staff friendly. Couldn't keep room warm as need fob in the slot, so when going for dinner heater was off. Car park close but when raining there were massive puddles around so made it difficult to get into car. Very convenient if need to be close to main street. Cafes close by.

Avoid this motel. It is dirty and run down. Our room was dirty on arrival, so we used the dirty pool while we waited for our room to be cleaned. When we entered the newly cleaned room, it smelt of body odour, the bathroom smelt of urine, the pillowcases had not been changed, the bedcovers/ doonas had not been washed for a long time, the heater for the second room was broken, and under the bed was filthy. The toilet at the pool was disgusting. The reception is mainly closed, as the person in charge is away working in the nearby cafe. The whole place needs a lot of money spent on it and maybe employ a few more people. The manager is totally out of his depth and not coping.

I stayed here with my 2 brothers and my mum, firstly when i was in the pool it was super murky and filled with particles,and smelled like cigarettes, also it gave one of my brotehrs a terrible rash on his foot , it also gave me a super dry throat and made my cough worse. Secondly the receptionist was awfull and rude when my mum was paying he crossed his fingers like it wasn’t going to work?! And he took 20-25 minutes to come and wasnt good with his phone or what he was using cause he didnt awnser,and i want to say the room was disappointing the heater was noisy and hardly worked and the table was broken the top wood was able to lift up,and the shower when i turned the knob not even alot for cold it went freezing and when. I turned hot A little bit and it was boiling and moldy where u put the soap, and i was scared to see my brothers electric blanket on his bed looked like it was gonna catch fire ,and the sheets was so dirty lucky i brang my own blankets

Be careful. I surfed the internet for accomodation in Halls Gap but, because it was cup weekend, options were limited. I came back to Pinnacle Holiday Lodge advertised through Agoda. First look I noticed the FREE CANCELLATION, this was important because were were towing a van to Horsham for our son to borrow and it was hard to confirm arrangements when you are dealing with your kids... things are subject to change ! Two days after booking my son confirmed Ellis's crossing, which is closer to Dimboola, I have a cousin in Dimboola so I cancelled the booking on line. Next morning I received confirmation of cancellation which said No Refund applied to the booking. I paided $285 on my VISA, I cancelled 48 hrs after booking and 3 days before the booking date. A % booking fee would be reasonable but to keep the $285 not so much. I rang Pinnacle who said I needed to ring Agoda. Agoda would refund but Pinnacle needed to approve the refund. Agoda said they were ringing and emailing Pinnacle to approve, Pinnacle said they were not receiving calls or emails from Agoda. Pinnacle were saying they would do every thing they could to help but failed to call or email Agoda on the addresses I sent through. After 2 days of calls back and forth Pinnacle said they were very busy ...to busy to make a call or send off an email.... not so willing to help after all! Finally it was sorted on Saturday, 3 days after cancellation. It seems that when I came back to Pinnacle Holiday Lodge on Agoda's page I clicked on a cheaper price and the condition on that cheaper price was no refund. As the FREE CANCELLATION was obvious in my initial search, the No Refund was in fine print and not clear. I'm sure I'm not the first to get caught and I wont be the last. So be careful. Pinnacle said to call them direct in future, after this example of their customer service .... I dont think so!

Location is great however that is only positive with this dirty, shabby, uncared for accommodation. Need to wash dishes used, which is fine, if there was a plug, dishcloth and tea towels provided. Bathrooms mouldy in the 4 rooms i booked, towels thin, fraying and past use by date. Toaster rusted with dirt and fluff onbread when it popped up 😬😬flickering lights, toilet didn’t flush and would have checked out but had paid in full and given attitude of owner didn’t think i would get refund. Pictures on website are so outdated i cant even imagine it ever looked like this. So disappointing and I feel so ripped off as there were many other nice places in area. No love or care given to this place - avoid

We stayed here for two nights. The kitchenette is fairly lacking in amenities (only electric frypan, no pots, chopping board, or kitchen knife. There was a bread knife but nowhere to slice your bread apart from the sink). Kitchen sponge was old as hell and quite gross. Yes, that’s what we started with when we checked in. Hairdryer in the room doesn’t work. All of the sinks need to have their taps closed super tightly or they’ll drip through the night. The pillows are pretty thin and uncomfortable too. Had to fold it to get to sleep. I can accept an old bedroom for the price range but there are many things in the room lacking in maintenance. Pretty sure you can get a better price in the area. Only good thing is the location and price for a larger room.

Mentioned on

Tourist information center
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisation
Nestled in the scenic Grampians, Brambuk the National Park & Cultural Centre is a hub for exploring Aboriginal culture and the natural beauty of the area. Established in 1989, it offers interactive exhibitions, theater performances, and cultural workshops to showcase the indigenous history of the region. Visitors can also enjoy a bush foods cafe while learning about the traditional custodians of the land, including the Jadawadjali and Djab Wurrung peoples.
Amazing place to explore the rich Aboriginal heritage of the region. The exhibits are engaging, and the staff are incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming. A must-visit for anyone in Halls Gap—an experience that truly enriches your understanding of the local culture!

Dropped by here in the late afternoon. Not sure whether it wasn't opened or already closed for the day. Anyway it was worth coming and exploring the outside of the Centre.

We were lucky to have weather that was lovely, although it was a bit cool and fresh, the sun was shining. A nice fresh winter's day. The kangaroos lazying in the sun, few Emu, and a kookaburra. Its a place I will return to for more adventures, during the summertime.

information center open, but cultural center/museum closed due to water damage(?). cafe was also closed. information center sells a number of nice and interesting souvenirs and local products. worth checking out, but probably only indeed the cultural center is open. walking through to a large grass patch after the cultural center found us a number of emus and a few kangaroos!

Cultural centre is closed. Info centre Cafe hasn't opened for years. Small giftshop. That's about it. Wetland walk is terrible and land is screaming out for Management. Wood, leaves and branches everywhere. Really disappointing as it used to be the highlight of the Grampians.

A must see/do experience whilst visiting the Grampians. The film is very entertaining with the history of the area, from many perspectives. The cafe & gift shop are a delight. Try the Lemon Myrtle Scones with a coffee.... unreal, delicious. A memorable experience.

I remember when this was being built and although it still looks good, some of the displays are getting tired, although the information is still good. Located just outside of Halls Gap you can walk or ride along well made paths. Inside is a small cafe where you can dine on fresh food and refreshments. Outside are some excellent interpretation boards that give a history of the area and the life prior to white settlement. The retail shop is extensive with lots of interesting items. There is plenty of parking under the shaded gums. The place is wheelchair friendly and in fact you can motor on your wheelchair from town to the centre. Very kid friendly with lots for the little ones to do. I would say you could spend at s minimum and hour here. There are tours available as well. Enjoy.

Silverband Falls

Mentioned on 
11 lists 
Scenic spot
Nature & Parks
Waterfalls
Silverband Falls is a charming and picturesque waterfall located in Grampians National Park. The easy 1.4-km return track through beautiful bushland leads visitors to the foot of this small perennial waterfall, making it accessible for all ages. During the summer, visitors can enjoy a pleasant walk to the waterfall and get close to it, although conditions may vary during wet seasons. The sound of winds gushing through the trees adds to the serene atmosphere.
Silverband Waterfalls offers a delightful and scenic walk. During our visit, the water flow was moderate, allowing for a serene atmosphere complemented by the soothing sounds of birds and streams. The moderately challenging pathway, occasionally crossing small waterways, adds a touch of adventure without being strenuous. A short walk from the car park unveils the beauty of this waterfall, making it a pleasant excursion lasting around 15-30 minutes.

If you ever take a trip to Halls Gap or Grampians National Park, don't forget to visit this amazing waterfall. This was not in my list when we go there. I visited there on first week of July and the waterfall is just amazing. I thought to visit this after seeing a name board. So worth visiting. You need to take a short walk from car park and you will meet this amazing waterfall. The walk is moderately challenging as pathway may cover with small water ways. Despite that it was an easy walk. Will take around 15-30 mins. The surrounding was also so beautiful

This hiking trail is easily accessible from the car park and suitable for kids. The trail leads to a stunning waterfall located in a beautiful area. It's an ideal spot for a picnic lunch, exploring the surroundings, and continuing on with your travels. The trail is flat, without any hills to climb, and offers opportunities to spot various animals. It's especially worth visiting after heavy rainfall.

Lots of water flowing over falls...looks great! Easy undulating walk in is good.
RetiredAussies — Google review
Very easy walk for all levels of ability, relatively flat terrain. Interesting lack of running water in the rocky creek/river bed. The falls come into view and I guess depending on the rainfall will be how impressive the falls are on the day. Beautiful gully, easy walk, but if you're expecting Mc Kenzies Falls, your going to be disappointed. Still worth the photo opportunity

Visited during start of summer. Small waterfall tucked in nicely in the woods. Enjoyed the trail towards the waterfall. You can actually go very near to the waterfall. But I assume, things will be different during wet seasons. Loved the sound of the winds gushing the trees. If you are coming from Bellfield side, you have to drive past the waterfalls to reach the car park. Can be tricky, if you don’t realise because, of network connectivity issue. Better have offline maps beforehand. No toilets, ample parking spots. Trail is kids and seniors friendly. But prams might find it tricky. Include in your list if you have spare time.

Fairly easy walk; mostly flat. Can be muddy towards the end. A most unusual looking waterfall as the rock layers are very much horizontal all the way down the face.

Easy walk mostly flat ok for prams. Some areas are rocky but not a lot. Creek was dry when I went in Feb, but to my surprise I found the waterfall still flowing.

Good spot good for camping boating swimming
Frankie K — Google review
Plenty of places to set up by the water. The area where I was had a lot of crushed rock on the surface and just under the surface, made it difficult to get tent pegs in the ground. Water level was down a little which allowed for more space to set up tents and equipment. Not a lot of vey level ground for sleeping g on a flat surface without waking up at the bottom of your tent/swag but me and my mate managed to find a couple of good spots. Plenty of fire wood around. Lots of dead trees in the water so probably not a great place for high speed water craft but there were a couple of people out in their tinnies and one knee boarder. Really good for swimming. I had 4 solid days of 32 degrees or above, the nights were cool which was a welcome relief. Water was not very cold at all until I got to knee deep then started cooling down a bit but was still comfortable. Lots of flys during the day and a few mosquitoes at night. I would like to go back here in the cooler months, the morning fog that would form over the water would be beautiful.

Had a fantastic easter weekend away with the family, fantastic place to get away from it all, the drop toilets were kept clean over the whole weekend which was amazing considering the amount of people there.. The spot on Brodies corner where we were was a great spot to set up our home away from home... Need to take own water supply .. When leaving have to to take all waste with you... minor inconvenience.. Also if you have a camp fire, plz make sure that it is put out with water and then cover it over with dirt when leaving.. Fantastic place Loved it.. Very highly recommended..
