The crater rim walk was stunning. Looking forward to going back for some more of the trails.

Walking the Lava Canal Walk at Budj Bim was a truly fascinating experience. I now understand why places like this hold deep spiritual significance in Aboriginal culture; witnessing how the land was formed is awe-inspiring. Nature’s power is on full display here. We were cautious while exploring the tunnel cave section, as we didn’t have a flashlight, and the rocks were slippery. There was also the chance of snakes. We stepped in a bit, but didn’t go too deep into the cave. The trail itself stretches about 6–7 km through forested terrain. You walk over rocky paths and soft, spongy plant layers that sometimes feel like there’s empty space underneath—like walking on nature’s cushion. It’s peaceful, and at times slightly challenging, but incredibly rewarding. We saw so many koalas along the way, which was absolutely heartwarming! And towards the end of the trail, a family of kangaroos appeared right in front of us. While we’re used to seeing wallabies, encountering these larger kangaroos was something else; so powerful and graceful. This walk is something I highly recommend. It’s quiet, occasionally demanding, and gives you the feeling of walking on ancient lava flows that shaped this land thousands of years ago. You can truly feel the spirit of the place in every step.

A wonderful hidden gem! Great spot for watching wildlife and enjoying the great outdoors.

Great facilities at the camp ground with hot showers and flush tolets. Fire places at all camp sites. Lots of wild life, and three walks start not far from camp ground. Recommend visiting

One of the coolest national parks in Victoria! I visited on a rainy day, and it was still stunning. If you’re in the area, it’s definitely worth a visit.

A hidden gem of volcanic features in western Victoria. The caves were a highlight. We did the 6.5 km lava canal walk, which was strenuous and full of interesting things to see althouh sadly we did not see koalas. Would love to go back for additional short walks and cultural options. Facilities were very good.

Extremely disappointing and very unloved. There has been no maintenance on the place for months. Do not attempt the lava canal walk with school groups or young kids. Scotch thistle and grass to hip height and at aminimum you need good shoes thick long pants long sleeve shirt. Even then our WA visitors turned backed with prickles and a snake phobia. Very unsafe and track should have been closed. I would not walk this in warm weather. A complete embarrassment for Victoria . Please clean it up or close the tracks before someone is hurt or bitten.

Lovely gardens and a lot of work have been done on the bridge and garden beds. The fountain has scaffolding around it, but it will be restored to original soon. Visited in winter so not a lot of flowers. The sensory garden behind the curators cottage was very special.

Old botanical garden, very large trees as the gardens were established in 1880's these were the 4th botanical gardens in Victoria. Most trees are well labelled, and plenty of history boards.

Beautiful garden always a good place to relax or walk! Very well maintained!!!! And there were new features recently added

Beautiful small garden littel play ground for kids nice place to walk the dog let the kids ride there bicks .

After Hamilton swap meet..bought some local takeaway Chinese food..took it to the gardens. Beautiful seating spot just near the rotunda..chilled variety of birds..decided after we ate that we walked around the gardens and checked out all the trees by name. Cottage, botanical conservatory, aviary, animal enclosure (nothing in there atm) bridge over pond. A little bit of work seems to be going on..which is always good for progress. History of the park was interesting, they had monkeys at one stage...a must visit.

Impressive. The fellow who designed these gardens was also the conservator of the Melbourne botanical gardens. His influence is evident in the flowing lawns and beautiful specimen trees. Gorgeous place to wander or sit for a while. There were a few people having picnic lunch when I was there. Love that the bridge has been rebuilt like the 1920's one. The bandstand has it's history recorded and it's worth walking down the North West for the historical elements including an oak planted in 1880.

We managed to catch a terrific afternoon with Trax Big Band playing in the rotunda. What a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon. The band woke up the nearby, and substantial, flock of fruit bats who happily skwarked and jostled in the sky above the rotunda. Couldn't have scripted it better! Delightful!

Good spot to walk the dogs on leash if visiting Dunkeld. It has multiple wooden bridges to walk across the pond, kangaroos and ducks. Only removing a star because it's not really a collection of the world's trees as promised - that claim is a bit far fetched. Lovely place nonetheless and worth the visit especially if you need a place to walk the dog!

A little underwelming. I wouldnt call it botanical gardens, more a park. But nice all the same. Worth a stroll.

Good place to visit. Finding parking lot might be a little tricky. Very easy walk and just big plain field for you to explore. There's a couple of historical stuff that you can check while you're there. Worth a drop by.

Lovely walk around the lake. Plenty of birds and kangaroos. Lots of big old trees. I would have appreciated if the gum trees were identified also.

Lovely for a walk some of the trees were flowering, so was a great time to go. Very peaceful.

What a little hidden gem. This place is best explored by foot. Beautiful trees, wildlife and backdrop of Mount Sturgeon. I would love to see this place in spring

Great little spot for a walk. Water is very low though. Unfortunately.

An easy walk to the viewing platform from the car park. Picnic areas and shelter to relax in a lovely bush setting. The fall was flowing really well too. There's also toilets.

Lovely falls. Very accessible 2 minute walk to viewing platform. Picnic tables, bins and toilets.

Stunning rocks formations. We saw it with just a small amount of flow of water but still amazing as it dropped into a deep pool below the cliff. Upstream are tickles to explore. Well worth a visit!

The falls are fantastic. The picnic area is well maintained. As are the toilets. Well worth the stop.

Nice falls, can only be viewed from the viewing platform, no access to the bottom as steep cliff walls surround the canyon, a nice set of little rapids up above the falls about a hundred metres, you can also camp here and there are tiolets, long drops.

Excellent park and scenery. You can't get very close to the falls, but the viewing platform is a good overall vantage point.

There wsd a good amount of water flowing over the fall. Such a nice place to visit

This is more than worth the drive from Melbourne for a special lunch! Meant to take photos before I ate but couldn’t help myself. Amazing everything on the plates.

I stayed one night in the hotel and had dinner here. Meal was amazing, big portions, good variety to choose from, more than a pub meal but great pub prices. Also, all local produce used. The accommodation was great, clean and tidy, nicely furnished, comfortable bed and nice and quiet. Highly recommend this place.

Been here a couple of times and each time the food was excellent. Today we had the sardines and olive tapenade, croquettes. slow cooked beef brisket to perfection, onion rings where the batter was light and crispy and for desert we had the tiramisu and basque burnt cheese cake that was equally delicious. This time round they even Galivanter gin and tonic on tap that was the best G&T I’ve had in a while!

Though you might not expect it, Cavendish's unassuming Bunyip is easily the best dining experience in Victoria. All the produce is fresh, the food thoughtful, simple and constantly-changing to best make use of what is in-season and locally available. This time around we had croquettes, tempura-battered stuffed zucchini flowers, duck galentine with plum sauce, cold tomato soup, slow roasted pork shoulder with a pavlova and nougat parfait for desert. All were stellar. It's made even better by the atmosphere. Easily the least pretentious place you can experience food of this quality at. Your might be between an insufferable marketing executive and a local bowls club. Between an artist and four guys on their way back from a rabbit shoot. It's all helped along by the lovely wait staff (Hetty and Olivia, in this case). I couldn't recommend it enough and will be back in another few months.

Been planning to come here for a while. We had the chefs selection of dishes. Never had chicken liver parfait before, certainly not at a country pub, but it was delicious! The beef short ribs looked amazing and we were lucky it was one of our selections. The pick of the night was the cabbage in blue cheese sauce with peppercorns I'm presuming are from the lovely large peppercorn tree outside. Would highly recommend and definitely come back, great value for money!

This place is legendary and for good reason. We booked the chefs table lunch on Sunday and were so impressed with the quality of the food and service. Every meal was utterly divine. The exquisite mushroom and cheese croquettes, hand cured salmon, pork belly and brisket cooked to absolute perfection. And to top it off a sublime lemon tart that was really more a citrus creme brulee in tart form. The chefs table changes week to week so I can't wait to go back and try it again!

What a little gem. Amazingly friendly fun locals and staff. Roaring fire lovely flowers very clean and comfortable. Great grassy beer garden looking over a little river. Mel and the rest of the staff just lovely. Great local wine list. Food was spectacular . They put up with our bad singing and dancing. Rooms very cosy. Hope to be back soon

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Despite the name, One Tree Hill actually has plenty of trees! 🌳 The lookout gives you amazing sweeping views over the Ararat countryside — perfect for a quick stop to stretch your legs or snap a photo. Easy to get to, not time-consuming, and well worth pulling over for if you’re passing through town. A simple little gem with views that surprise you. 🌄

It’s sits high on top of the hill With all most 360 deg views of the hold area ( apart for some trees ) Platform has brass direction marked naming mountain or towns + distension

The location offers a remarkable and tranquil experience, providing an amazing view of a lush, green landscape. The environment is exceptionally peaceful.

Good area to see the view of the Grampians one way, and Ararat in another direction. There is a tower there with some seats in it. Small car park. Good drive up to the lookout to see the view.

Great view that you can drive right up to, multiple bins so don't leave your rubbish lying around like the grubs before us!

This place is well worth the little detour if you're passing through Ararat. The lookout gives a breathtaking view of the town of Ararat and The Grampians. It can get a little bit windy up the hill.

Stunning panoramic views of the town of Ararat, the surrounding Wimmera Plains, and even glimpses of the Grampians National Park in the distance. Easily accessible by car, with parking available at the summit.

We visited Seppelt Great Western for our anniversary, and it was one of the best experiences we’ve had! The underground cellar tour led by Ricky was the highlight of our day. He was knowledgeable, funny, and made the whole tour feel special and personal. His way of explaining things was simple and engaging — we were never bored for a second! The place itself is stunning, and learning about its rich history made it even more memorable. Thank you, Ricky, for making our anniversary so unique and unforgettable. Highly recommended to anyone visiting the area!

Decided to visit at the last minute during a recent trip to the Grampians. Am glad I did. Had a fantastic tour with a very enlightened tour guide who for the life of me I can’t remember his name, he wouldn’t be impressed. 😂 The underground vaults are incredible like something out of Harry Potter - think chamber of secrets. Oh, and the wine of pretty good to. Highly recommended!

Seppelt Estate and Cellar Door are huge. The wine tasting area has local goods and fare for sale. The Seppelt and Pyrenees area wines are pleasant. (but not our taste, we prefer the boutique estate wines). There are Cellar Tours, but we did not take this. Yes, definitely worth a visit!

We booked the cellar tour at the last minute and it turned out to be an absolute highlight. The history of this place is fascinating, and Taryn brought it to life with her warmth and storytelling, she made every moment feel special. Walking through the cool, dimly lit cellar was incredible, like stepping back in time. The tour wraps up with a wine tasting included in the ticket, and you can treat yourself to extra tastings afterwards if you wish. Tom was also fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable, and spot-on with his wine suggestions for us to take home. A wonderful experience from start to finish.

We had a fantastic tour of the underground cellars with Ricky. So much history and terrific stories. Our wine tasting and lunch package was divine.

Wow, there’s so much history that has been beautifully preserved! Very interesting — Mark was exceptional at telling stories and keeping them engaging. We loved it, and the wine tasted amazing afterward! Thank you ☺️

Had a tour with Ricky the other day and it was a great experience. I’ve been to Seppelt many times, and even did a tour with him last year as well - very knowledgeable, engaged, and a place filled with history. Had a great time exploring the underground drives, followed by a delicious sparkling tasting. Lots of great wines here - not just the sparklings but the reds as well (personally not a white drinker). So great to see that the community has advocated for such an important historic place to be remembered and enjoyed. Book in for a tour and say hi to Ricky - an experience definitely worth having.

We visited today…. And had an absolute delightful time…. Karina was fantastic - knowledgeable, fun and engaging… and along with the great wines and the cheeses … we had two great hours just grazing and appreciating a true iconic vineyard…. Without a doubt - if in the area - VISIT!

Best's Wines is a MUST stop for anyone travelling down the western hwy! I visited at the recommendation of a friend that lives near by on my way back to Melbourne and it was the best part of my day!!! The staff are super friendly and proud of what they do. I loved the self guided tour and history of the vineyard. The sparkling Shiraz was absolutely divine and the food is amazing! On top of all of that it's great value for money, I had a self guided tour, lunch, a wine tasting and took home 2 bottles that didn't break the bank! I can't wait to drop in again and share the experience with my husband next time we're in the area!!!

Do yourself a favour and go visit this vineyard!!! Absolutely beautiful experience to have, taste home made wine, together with some interesting vin history. Really good!

Fabulous wines, expert attention and great value to try exceptional wines. The top reds and vintage sparkling Shiraz were divine. The cellar door area looks like it’s straight out of a history book!

Great place, wonderful wines especially the Pinot Noir. Service was a little rushed as if they were in a hurry to get us out. Odd with only 2 other couples in. Still overall a good experience. Disappointing that their wines were cheaper elsewhere than at the cellar door.

Absolutely fabulous old winery, worth a visit anytime! Beautiful original sheds, vines & delicious wines. Free self guided underground tour & complimentary fortified tastings. We enjoy visiting and taking friends there, never fails to intrigue & educate & delight!! 5 stars, everytime. Rustic, historic and genuine✨️

Thank you Kelly and Sue Ellen for a lovely afternoon. Your hospitality was so warm that we didn’t want to leave, not to mention your delicious wines and fantastic cheese platter. The cellar door is definitely worth a visit. How many wineries do you come across that have a self guided museum tour! Sorry for bombarding you both with a hundred history questions - your winery’s history is just so fascinating! We will visit again next time we are in the area.

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.

All the information you need. The cafe is nice as well.There a couple of nice,easy walks

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.

Totally surprised. Unsure if we wanted to visit with my son's family. Took the risk - it was amazing. Much, much bigger than you would think. Amazing animals and habitats. Our grandchildren were captivated. A fantastic attraction - under rated and unknown?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Incredible Experience at Halls Gap Zoo From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how beautiful and welcoming this zoo is. A special shoutout to the lovely young lady at the front desk her warm smile and wonderful help set the tone for the day. The girl working in the food van was absolutely incredible friendly, efficient, and so lovely to chat with. And to the amazing keepers who guided us through the most unforgettable Rhino experience wow! Their knowledge, passion, and care for these magnificent animals made it truly magical. Getting up close and learning about the rhinos was something we’ll never forget. Halls Gap Zoo is a credit to everyone who works there. It’s not just a zoo, it’s an experience full of heart, beauty, and incredible people. Highly recommend to everyone! 🦏✨monique and Nathan

A real surprise. Was not expecting a zoo this incredible in this location. Great layout, and plenty of free range animals to get close to. The deer were hilarious and friendly. Get a few feed bags for the walk through the zoo. Also has a great playground inside.

A great little zoo with a relaxed vibe and plenty to see. Grabbed a food bag each at the entrance and had a blast feeding the friendly deer; it definitely added to the experience. The meerkats were hilarious, constantly popping up and checking us out like tine security guards. Paths are easy to follow which helped when a deer ate my map! We saw a good mix of native and exotic animals and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Halls Gap Zoo is definitely worth a visit if you're in the Grampians area.

Fantastic Zoo! We spent a solid 2–3 hours exploring the winding paths, each lined with enclosures featuring a great mix of wildlife—local favourites and international species, from tiny marsupials, monkeys🐒 or reptiles to towering Giraffe's 🦒 The entry fee might feel a bit high at first, but once you see the scale and care involved (rhinos and giraffes aren’t exactly cheap), it’s easy to understand why. Friendly deer and peacocks roam freely and are happy to be hand-fed with feed bags available for purchase. It’s a well-kept, thoughtfully laid-out zoo that makes for a great half-day outing. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

I didn’t plan on visiting the zoo whilst visiting the Grampians/Halls Gap, however I couldn’t help myself after reading the reviews. It is absolutely amazing there! The animals appear to be well looked after and loved, they all have more than suitable enclosures and then you’ve got the free roaming animals which makes it feel so different to most zoos. I would definitely make another trip here just to go to this zoo, hopefully next time I plan ahead and can try out the animal experiences. Not as many animals as mainstream zoos, however the circuit walk, being able to hand feed and get up close & personal with the roaming animals, and the fact that the animals in enclosures there seem genuinely happy makes up for that factor. Be mindful of the deer ambushing you for the feed though! 😂

Friendly and informative staff, large range of animals (rhinos and giraffes were the kids favourites). Clean and good layout to follow around. Enjoyable morning with the family.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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! ⛰️

This is easily a must see when visiting Geriwerd. It is very rasy to drive to, the lookout is about a 30 second walk from the carpark, is wheelchair accessible and is absolutely stunning.

One of the best and easiest lookouts in Grampians to access. No difficult climb, or hours of waking. Just a quick few steps out of the car. Accessible to most people. Stunning on a nice clear day.

The best look out at the Grampians in my opinion! It’s the other side view of Grampians then Reid’s lookout! 5th time I have been here! Still amazing!

"MacKenzie Falls is a breathtaking 40-meter waterfall in Grampians National Park, flowing year-round. Enjoy scenic views from Bluff Lookout or tackle the steep 260-step climb to the base for an up-close experience. A must-visit attraction in Victoria, Australia."

A must see and very impressive! But be warned, so many stairs. Many many stairs. Make sure you're prepared for all the stairs... Very touristy so it can get crowded on weekends, try visit off peak if you can to make the most of it. Absolutely huge waterfall and plenty of walks around if you don't want the experience to stop! Really loved it and is a must see of the Grampians region. This place is full of surprises, can't believe Victoria has something like this!

I didn’t expect the sound to reach me before the view did. Low, steady, like breath through a canyon. Mackenzie Falls doesn’t just fall; it insists. And somehow, that insistence quieted everything else. From the Bluff lookout, the whole scene opens up. Wheelchair-accessible, it’s a place that doesn’t ask you to prove anything. You arrive, and the land receives you. There’s a bench tucked off to the side. Not marked, not famous. I watched a youngster sit there, swinging her legs, watching the water like it was telling a story only she could hear. That felt important. The mist creates its own world of ferns, moss, even the air feels different. I touched the sandstone and thought about time. Not in years, but in textures. If you go, bring something small. A thermos. A poem. Mackenzie Falls doesn’t just offer a view—it offers a conversation.

Beautiful waterfall! Done the walk to the bottom many times throughout the years and will continue to do so. The sight of it never ceases to amaze me. It’s 260 steps to walk down to the bottom, certainly worth the walk. The first part of the way consists of flat parts and stretched out wide steps whereas the last part downwards is short steep steps/staircases. The way down is easy, the way up might require a couple breaks. On the bottom you can enjoy the waterfall in its entire beauty. After it has rained it is especially huge, you might get wet just by standing nearby! There is an additional walk all you can do from the bottom of Mackenzie falls to fish falls to the right. Also a nice little walk to do ☺️ There’s signs everywhere to tell people not to swim in front of the waterfall because of the danger, however every time we visit there is still people swimming regardless. At the top near the carpark are good toilets. There is also an additional 2x lookouts at the top which look downwards to the waterfall; good for anyone unable to walk all the way down. And as per the famous sticker from my home country that has also made its way to the Mackenzie falls: Nett hier. Aber waren sie schon mal in Baden-Württemberg?

Amazing trek experience. Takes a good 15 minutes to get down to the base of the waterfalls. You can return from the view point in the middle or can go the base. What’s even exiting is you can trek further for about 30-45 minutes to reach fish falls. Moderate trekking, good to have water bottle.

The Falls are amazing, it was a good walk down the stairs, but you realise you have to walk back up them. When I got to the falls I realised it was going to be worthwhile. I went further downstream to Fish Falls, a nice walk along the water and through the bushland. I would recommend to anyone who is comfortable with rougher ground walking. Stopped on the walk up a few times, bit was a great day

Second time visiting Mackenzie falls, this time I did the lookout walk with my son and 80 year old grandma in law! She was able to walk to lookout and back no problems at all. Lots of Aussie native plants. Toilets at the start!

Great place to go for a trail ride! Cameron is a fantastic instructor and will give you mini lessons throughout your trail ride! The ride is suitable for riders of all levels, and a horse is selected for your skill level - plenty of chances for nice long canters! Lovely ride through the bush and gorgeous horses to 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. He was so calm and forgiving. The scenery was beautiful and I learned so much. I have definitely started an obsession, I need my own. Thanks so much Cameron!

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.

Fantastic! Cameron will teach you everything you need to know to be confident horse riding. We enjoyed the complementary overnight camping in the beautiful remote location the night before the ride. Highly recommend!

Such an awesome experience at Grampians Horse Riding! Cameron was amazing — we learned so much, not just about riding but also about handling challenges together as a couple. Truly unforgettable, and we’ll definitely be back next time!

Went with my partner for a two hour trail ride. Had a great time as a beginner, Cameron was informative about horses, horse riding, and the local area. If you've the time and are in the area, definitely give it a go. Can't go wrong.

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;).

This is a wonderful place to visit. I did not know anything about the first Indigenous cricket team. The memorabilia is exceptional. Shirley Crompton

What a wonderful exhibition. If you love cricket and the history that this little gem of a town has then this museum has it. Wonderful people that are very passionate about what they have are so happy to talk to you. An absolute experience. Thanks Harrow.

Amazing find, in the most fascinating little town. Give yourself plenty of time to wander the street, see the history. The cricket museum would have to be one of the best museums I've seen, and I don't even like cricket! Check out the general store for great coffee and a step back in time!

What an amazing place to be. Harrow Cricket museum is the real mecca of cricket, this is where it all started in Australia in 1868. Harrow is a small sleepy town with lovely people and a rich heritage. Harrow Discovery Centre is open all days and a must visit for anyone with love of cricket and history. You can spend the whole day in the Harrow Discovery Centre, and then visit the local pub just across the street. Lovely place!!!!

Very interesting on the history of the first aboriginal cricket team that travelled to the UK in the 1800 . It closes too early on weekends at 2pm but as we were attending the harrow show we were able to visit at night but way too short as the woman commentator was excellent and had us enthralled.

Harrow has a terrific Discovery Centre that was well structured, authentic and steeped in history. The cricket memorabilia is totally amazing. To have such a vast collection of pieces from our first ever team to tour England and the largest Bradman collection in existence is amazing. The volunteer staff are warm and inviting, and enthusiastic about their work. Well worth a visit. Harrow is a lovely quaint warming old country town. A step away from hustle and bustle and return old world charm, a real surprise package.

What a find!! What an amazing amount of cricket memorabilia, with a huge amount dedicated to Bradman. The centre has a great historical connection to its indigenous cricket team. Please visit and donate to keep it running. Excellent achievement for the Harrow community.

Stopped in this week with the rugrat and friend. Beautifully set out and lots of shade and handy for a stroll along the river. Highly recommended.

Lovely place to sit and have afternoon tea. Had to bring our own though.

Quiet question good place for relaxing. There is a playground and many different types of gardens.

Lots of work has gone into maintaining these gardens, enjoyable to walk around on a sunny day :)

Relatively small and would have been nice if it were not for a probably well paid gardener employed to cut the grass, who in the process literally demolished much of the grassed areas. Unbelievable. Wish I'd taken some photos Sorry.

First time I've been to a park that bans dogs, what rubbish. At least allow them in on leash like other parks do. Would have been a nice park otherwise

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.

The colors really pop....there is a perimeter fence like round the silo that you are required to keep out. You can find toilets some few meters in memorial park

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.

Great low cost caravan camping area with power at $10 night in nice setting. Museum and silo art close by. Food truck a bonus. Great community feel.

There is no story board for this new Silo art yet. The Blue Wren and the influence of farming is fitting for the area🌾🐏

Stunning silo art repainted in March 2025 - it just pops off the silo.

Very nice work of art. Worth stopping by.

Silo Art worth stopping for a look. Had a coffee at the Coffee Van.

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.

This is the place that stole my heart. Everything about climbing at Arapiles nourishes my soul.

I'm no climber but I loved it here. Awesome view and beautiful scenery. Camp is nice and lots of wildlife everywhere. Lots to do even if you're not a climber, but if you are you would not be disappointed. This is one of the best climbing locations in the world and I would recommend.

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 .

Best time in my entire life was the first time I ever rock climbed this mountain solo. The 2nd best time was the day I randomly discovered the hidden place and thought I'd found a new climbing spot hahahaha

Stunning. Really great to take in on the drive past and enticed a closer visit to the summit as well. Worth a stop to admire the natural beauty.

Worth calling in and walking to the look outs. Amazing rock formation rising up in what is otherwise open plains.

Truly one of a kind artwork, the elders and the two children, the generations of people who own the land. A landmark to celebrate the land, the stars, the beauty and the beliefs. The artwork is respectful about the past, hopeful about the future and will transcend the generations to come. The color selection is awesome. What's even more wonderful, is the day expressions on the faces.

Amazing work by artist Adnate.

Great place to come on a drive and sit down and relax and have a bit to eat or just look at the great artwork painted onto the silos.

By far, this was the highlight of our holiday. This artwork is not found on the street but had to drive an hour from Stawell where we were staying. It was worth the drive even the speeding fine on the way there. The picture will tell how fascinating this piece of artwork and how it was done on such huge canvas. Located on a secluded area and tours available for several Silo artworks on different places. Well recommended to people to see and be proud of this.

Absolutely fantastic a worthwhile place for all people to visit amazing artwork and some great Victorian towns that got this country started.

One of the top silo on the art trail, so good for an artist to capture indigenous australians as this represents our country. The detail is amazing as you can get a real feel of what they were trying to accomplish. Worth the trip

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. You can see the reflection of sky in their eyes. My favourite on the silo art trail. You cannot miss this one.

An impressive example of local sprit and a significant story. Follow @LifeWithNoAnchor on YouTube for more.

Sometimes simplicity is good - while the detail of this artwork was amazing the colours used that resembled the country around here made it even more impressive.

As I said on the other silos idk how I'd rate art but this one maybe my second favourite since it wraps around a fair bit and they painted the silos behind as well giving it a nice consistent look from multiple angles

Was a great day going to see the art work.....we made it to 3 of them and wished we did the rest but will do on the next trip up....well worth a visit though.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Best free camping in Nth Western Vic. Great lake, fishing, boating walks. Make a donation for hot showers/toilets

Beautiful place to camp up for a few days. We had a lovely spot right on the banks of the lake and enjoyed the proximity to the water. Nice and clean, relaxing and quiet. Definitely a little gem in this let of Western Victoria.

Probablevthe best free camp I have stayed at. When the boats are absent the only sound is birds. Lovely blue water. Just great.

I always stop off at this place. Never too busy for a break between Portland and Mildura after getting lunch from Cafe around corner. Good toilets too. The Lake itself very pristine and blue

Absolutely lovely spot to camp for as long as you think you need. Very popular especially at peak times.

This place is a gem for camping. It has a lot. A credit goes to the volunteers that look after the facilities. Powered sights $20.00 pn. Free camping. Donations for use of facilities showers, toilet, washing machine.

Bit faded but still a very nice Silo art. Need to go to the other side to capture the 2nd painting.

Beautiful Silo art. Great at sunset

Not as easy to view as other silo art trail art work, but worth the effort as very moving.

Loverly day out, nice painted silos. On the list for next too

Another great style of artwork done by another artist to stop by and check out on your journey through town.

So there's two, and the entrance is a tad confusing. Don't take the one right next to the train track, or the one next to the house next to the tracks. Take the one after opposite the park. I had a good sit and enjoyed my pie from the pub.

A little faded these days but was designed to blend in with the structure

A little country town with lots of charm and a dying Main Street Great silo art worth visiting

Beautiful silo art . Don't forget to stop and see the giant Mallee fowl statues in town.

A fantastic work of art. Patchie is A great place to stay for a few days too. Great pub and pay $15.00 for a night at the pub for a powered site and water at the Caravan Park. So peaceful!

Beautiful stand alone Aussie Farmer. Surronded by a Cactus garden and iron fowl near by. Opposite a small milkbar and toliets.

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.

..The end of the line...The northern most of the Silo Art canvases. All spectacular, all different. A great tour

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.

We happened to be coming through town while a festival was on in Wentworth and couldn't find any accommodation. The receptionist at the Mildura visitors centre was incredibly helpful and friendly. She looked around for us and even booked us a night at a local caravan park. She walked us through things to do in the area and was the reason we decided to stay an extra night in town when we originally only meant to pass through. The centre is also full of local handmade items and food. It was very interesting to look around and we bought some local jewellery before we left. It's not ofren you see such good visitors centres.

Really nice visitor information centre with great staff. Well laid out next to waves swimming pool and plenty of parking and street parking.

Extremely Disappointed – Appalling Customer Service We called Mildura Paddle Steamers in advance to inform them we had tested positive for COVID-19 and could not attend our booking. We did the right thing by notifying them early and avoiding the risk of exposing others. Despite this, they refused to refund us. Their complete lack of empathy and basic decency is disgraceful. Punishing customers for being responsible is not just bad business — it’s unethical. We will absolutely never be booking with them again and will be warning others to steer clear. We could’ve come and exposed everyone as they told us we could but we had the locals/ tourists interest in heart. Disgusted by this I also want to add, while we were communicating trying to have a humane conversation between the info centre and the paddle steamers both would say it was the others polices and procedures. If you’re going to run a business I suggest you know whose polices and procedures are what.

My family and I made a booking online through the Mildura Tourist and information centre for a paddle steamer cruise with Mildura Paddle steamers. The booking was made 15 hours prior to departure. That night my family and I started to become very ill. We took a Covid test to find the 3 of us were Covid positive. As soon as the office opened at 9am I rang only to be told that as we hadn’t given 24 hours notice we will forfeit our $120 booking fee. I understand policy, however I don’t understand the complete lack of empathy and humanity in refunding our fees. What I do understand is that policy is a guide and that those in charge can make fair and reasonable judgement in regards to unique situations outside of an individuals control. We took a responsible action in not attending the cruise so as not to infect local community members and staff on the cruise. I do not see how our booking of 3 people only hours prior to departure have cost this local business in any way. The Mildura information centre promote ‘Expect Better’ very sad they can not live up to that mantra. We put the Mildura communities best interests first, very disappointed that the local tourism and local paddle steamer business can not acknowledge that through a fair and reasonable refund.

Absolutely bad designed entrance for vans. We struggled to go through the corner entrance. Then went to park in 1 of the 3 long bays 2 taken by short vehicles. We had to move our van in town as if we stayed there the vehicle's in bays opposite didn't have room to back out without hitting our van. Whoever approved this parking had no idea of clearance needed for vans lengths . This is a not good enough for visitors to the information centre access to Mildura. Very disappointing. We did not go back to the information centre. Got our supplies and moved on.

Really helpful staff, a few nice things for sale as well. Lots of brochures to look through about what's on offer and where to go.

Extremely well set out information on local places of interest as well as other areas to visit. Helpful staff

The lock let's boats through on the 1/2 hour so you can watch the operation without too much wait. The island has a good walk around to the weir and there is quite a lot of bird life to be seen.

This place is great to get out and walk around. Well signed posted walking trails with new paths. You could spend an afternoon or morning watching the boats go through the lock. Imformative signage present too allowing you to have a good idea about the whole Murry water scheme.

What a great experience with a steam powered paddle boat (the Melbourne) to boot. It is quite an old world feeling to firstly be lowered 3.5 metres to the actual river height then on return being raised back up 3.5 metres. This raising movement took all of 4 minutes and without the use of any pumps. Brilliant!

Just a quick fish with the man at one of his secret/not so secret spots. Watch out for the logs. Nice place to have a go

Cool experience. You can experience it on the river bank (free) or hop on a paddle steamer (AUD 45). Definitely a must do attraction in Mildura

River cruise on P S Melbourne. A steam driven paddle steamer. The cruise was 2 hours long and included going through Lock 11 in both directions. Highly recommend.

Well worth taking the walk or ride along the easy 5km river trail with its many interesting features. The lock is impressive, its size and the amount of water it holds back. The work that went into building this and the engineering behind it is impressive. Alongside the lock is a flood marker board, I was blown away with flood heights with 1870 being a big one. Having seen many locks in the UK I would have loved to watch a paddle boat go through this one.

We had a fantastic experience on this tour! Mario was incredibly friendly and gave us a fun tractor ride, keeping everyone entertained with his great sense of humour. He was so easy to talk to and made the whole experience feel welcoming and enjoyable 🙏🏼

Great learning experience for children about how the food chain works, the tour guide lady was very informative & friendly & very keen to answer questions. Mario was very interactive with explaining & showing how citrus is processed from paddock to plate allowing children to take part In juicier bottling process, it was great!

Very engaging farm experience. The owner mario and maria are very sweet and funny. If you have kids, they will love Mario's jokes and riding his orange train around the farm.

A must visit when in Mildura. Go see Mario and get the grand tour. Be prepared for dad jokes. Lots of fun and informative tour and presentation. Great for all ages. Mario is legendary. Go grab some freshly prepared juice.

We had a great couple of hours here with a tractor ride through the groves and the guide gave us some history of the orchard and how the fruit is picked. We got to taste some oranges and picked up some orange blossom honey from the shop

Great place to visit,tour on train very informative,staff very happy and helpful. A great school holidays adventure. Freshly made orange juice the best I have tasted. Delicious orange flavoured cakes available

Mario the owner is very friendly and knows a lot about fruit. The shop has food, drink and souveniers. Freshly squeezed orange juice upon arrival. Take the farm tour and get a book full of dad jokes from Mario. This was our second visit.

Was informative and interesting. Well maintained and a credit to Rotary and Wentworth. An interesting visit.

We are really glad we went out of our way to visit Wentworth Gaol. It was great to walk through the grounds and experience what it would have been like. We were given advice on what to keep an eye out for on the way in which was helpful and the information around the cells and rooms was informative and not long winded. If you're passing through Mildura, go out of your way, it's not far and you won't be disappointed.

Wonderful trip back in time! Great job preserving the Gaol and it's relics. Really enjoyed reading about the history and way people were incarnated way back in the day - vastly different experience today!

Well worth the small fee, giving you insight into a past era. Some interesting aboriginal artefacts on display in the school section.

Great little facility that tells the history of regional Australia through the justice system. Run by volunteers - a low cost and worthwhile stop if you are passing through

Great value due to you can go to Museum across the with same ticket for free Friendly staff

Lovely old goal well maintained. Has lots of artefacts to look at. Staff very friendly. It is a self guided tour and you can take as long as you like. Park and toilets opposite goal . Town musuem is also across the road.

Loved visiting the god tree...definitely a must do. Whilst we went in the middle of the day...would recommend a sunset visit for better photo opportunities. In saying that there is plenty of photo opportunities at any time of the day

Great spot to visit, especially for kids. Huge sand dunes as far as you can see. Very peaceful and beautiful

Easily accessible. Although the walk to ‘The God Tree’ involved a steep descent and a steep climb up to it, through soft sand

It was quiet, calm and peaceful watching sunset at sandhills. Remember your way back to car park by making a trail on the sand as you walk and bring a torchlight with you. 🙂

It was raining on the day I was here but went for a look anyway, I would like to come check it out when it is dry. It is pretty cool how it has just kinda formed in the middle of nowhere. Worth a look for sure if you are in the area!

Easy to find, to slide down the large hills you will need to walk further from the car park.

We loved coming here. Unfortunately we didn't have anything to slide down as it was a last minute decision. We walked around and found a large piece of cardboard. The kids had a great time sliding down. Well worth a visit. Bring something like a boogie board etc or large firm cardboard to slide down.
