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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

If your interested in the Big Stuff then this Koala is for you. A quick attraction to look at and have a rest.

Found this exciting Koala while driving on the highway. Very unique and has a restaurant next to it.

If you love kitschy big roadside attractions, then the Giant Koala is for you. It is the ugliest koala ever, but that's what's fun about it.

Be sure to stop at the Cafe for a feed when you’re passing through, great friendly staff! Great tourist location!

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.

A fantastic and inexpensive local attraction that wasn’t busy. A great piece or local history too, dying back roughly eighty years. Plenty of parking on site, as well as a gift shop and clean / modern toilets. Allow 20-30 mins to walk the length and return.

Great place, a must to visit. Shows what could be done without a lot of equipment or manpower.

The Stick Shed in Murtoa is an absolute cracker of a stop! 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.

This is a must see attraction. It's absolutely amazing. How it was built and when. Blood sweat and a lot of hard work went into its construction.

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;).

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.

My brother and I came here for a fun day out Steve was a perfect host and genuinely gave us his knowledge and experience It was genuinely the best day out we have had we arrived and was told we had book incorrectly but Steve still made room for us.

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.

Great BBQ facilities, heaps ants, cockatoos and green spaces. Some BBQ don’t work. Plenty of seating for family gatherings

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!

Great spot in Horsham, lovely along the water and the charity car show was good to see too. It was a really nice spot to have our lunch.

Great stop for a picnic or just to sit and relax. Toilet facilities and parking

Very beautiful spot with good facilities ie bbq, toilets, playground and easy walking and bike tracks to explore the river bank in Horsham

A drive into the desert.. not really a desert but surrounded by all white sand.. supportive weather is must though.. 4fwd drive cars not required unless weather is bad.. we went straight through via hatchback car.. Picnic ground in the central area.. possibly isolated..

My second flying visit to Little Desert and once again the scenery and bird life blew me away. Add to that Dimboola is an amazing little town, make sure to stop in and grab lunch or something to eat and support the lovely local businesses.

Amazing landscape , 4wd only and need 2inch clearance as sand can be deep in some parts. I personally wouldn't do this in rain and summer months.

Stunning natural beauty and tranquility. Lovely quiet place to bring the family in our motorhome and enjoy a campfire, walks and a dip in the river.

Beautiful area but sadly closed for to a recent fire. So need to revisit one day

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.

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful experience, being on country sharing knowledge about weaving.

One of the best place to watch the sunset, a great easy climb (but still risky with young children) with an amazing view of the Wimmera and Mt Arapiles.

Such a stunning spot to explore. Very accessible by car and a short walk to the top. Views in every direction and loads of wild life to see over the duration of the day and night. Very highly recommended.

Great climbing spot, high exposure setting up top ropes, with stunning views from all areas

A wonderful trad climbing site away from the crowds on Arapiles. Easy access and good opportunity for shade.

Amazing!

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.

You might drive past without noticing. But inside, the machines wait patiently, blinking their lights into the dimness. It’s not a theme park. It’s quieter than that. The sounds are familiar but distant. The soft clatter of flippers. The lonely bounce of a silver ball. The soft hum of circuits remembering how things used to be. The man who keeps it all going moves with the kind of care people reserve for things that mattered once. He knows the machines. Not just how they work, but what they meant. When he talks about them, he’s not selling nostalgia. He’s preserving something fragile. There’s joy here, but it’s quiet. Like a song you half-remember. Like something once loud, now settled into memory. The Australian Pinball Museum doesn’t try to impress. It doesn’t need to. It remembers for all of us.

If you are driving along the Western Hwy and passing through Nhill, the Australian Pinball Museum is definitely worth a stop. Located just off Dimboola Road, this place is a hidden arcade museum filled with flashing lights, nostalgic sounds, and a huge collection of pinball machines. They have everything from classic older style machines right through to the newest titles, all set up and working beautifully. I found it amazing to not only see such a wide range on display but also to actually play them. Some of my personal favourites were there, and it really brought back memories of when I was younger spending hours in arcades. The pricing is very fair – $2.00 per game on the new machines and $1.00 on the older ones – which makes it easy to play multiple games without breaking the budget. The variety is impressive, and honestly you could spend hours here going from one machine to the next. The vibrant lighting, themed artwork, and buzzing atmosphere make it even more fun. Open daily from 11am to 9pm, it’s an easy stop for families, travelers, or anyone wanting a dose of retro fun. If you grew up playing pinball or just want to try something different, definitely drop in and enjoy a few games. Open hours : 11am to 9pm daily.

when i die, this is where my soul will go. heaps of funky american sodas available for sale, & the place just has that fun lowkey energy rural towns often have. place was empty when i went, & the museum is vast — there are pinball machines from the 1940’s, alongside machines that were released just weeks ago! educational, interactive & fun. 10 outta 10

It was very entertaining to have a go at pinball (even if you're not that great at playing like me) and definitely worth travelling to if you're a pinball enthusiast! Had a variety of playable pinball machines and a lot of vintage machines and promotional posters and machine components on display. My family visited on an evening on a weekday so it wasn't that busy and Vanessa who was working there was very helpful, friendly and lovely to chat to!

What a wonderful place to play pinball! ✨ Edit: why do the tables get more difficult each time I come?! Is the tilt getting harder to make more $? I spent $10 in 10 mins this last time. They have both new & classic machines in operation ✨ Also the person who runs the place is both friendly, and very knowledgeable about pinball, and all the other classic games that are located here 😌😊 I really enjoyed my visit here 😊 Thank you! 😁

Excellent range of machines and owner is awesome with a lot of knowledge on pinballs Great little country town with everything you need as well

Awesome selection of machines, lots of fun. Played the new D&D pinball, so much fun.

Beautiful old building, currently standing unused. I hope that it gets the love and attention it deserves as such an important part of Australia's railway heritage. Off the main highway but could be so worth visiting.

What an incredible experience and a great reason to slightly detour off the highway! Be sure to take the time to have a look around at some brilliant history for the region. We were lucky to meet Les, who patiently guided us through and answered all our questions. He can rattle off any number of facts and make the experience incredible.

Great place to look around. And a camp ground 1km down rd at reserve. $20 power. Shower and loo access. Great stop over.

We were very fortunate to meet Les who offers tours. He is funny and very informative of the historic train station. Support them by purchasing a magnet.

This is more than just another railway station that has closed. It was built in 1889 and closed in 1986. Before the platform was shortened, it was the longest in country Victoria. Prior to Federation it was the customs house for entry into and out of SA and Victoria. The station has three levels with 15 main rooms, including bedrooms, a jail and a morgue which were in the basement. Definitely worth a side trip to see.

Serviceton Historical Station is an absolute treasure trove of history and nostalgia. From the moment I stepped onto the platform, I was transported back in time to the golden era of railway travel. The meticulously preserved station building itself is a sight to behold. Its architecture reflects the grandeur of the past, and you can feel the history in every brick and wooden beam. The attention to detail is remarkable, and it's clear that the caretakers have poured their hearts into maintaining this historical gem. The displays and exhibits inside the station are incredibly informative. They provide a fascinating glimpse into the significance of Serviceton during its heyday as a crucial railway junction. The artifacts, photographs, and documents on display offer a deep understanding of the station's role in connecting different parts of Australia. What truly makes Serviceton Historical Station special, though, is the passionate volunteers who run it. They are a wealth of knowledge and are always eager to share stories and answer questions. Their dedication to preserving and sharing the history of this station is truly commendable. The beautifully landscaped gardens surrounding the station are a peaceful oasis. They provide a lovely backdrop for a leisurely stroll, and it's clear that they are well-maintained with great care. Visiting Serviceton Historical Station is not just a journey into the past but also a journey of appreciation for the hard work and dedication of those who have kept this piece of history alive. It's a must-visit for history enthusiasts, train aficionados, and anyone looking for a charming, educational, and nostalgic experience. Five stars do not do justice to this remarkable place.

This is just amazing, you need to ring first to book a tour. it is a magnificent building which was built due to gauge changes between states and collection of customs payments. underneath there are various rooms and prison cells for prisoners of war being transferred interstate. it still has trains roaring through, and is fascinating.

Thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Majella Wines we were looked after by jazz. She was a great host and because of that we had to buy some wine off her lol , she was absolutely sensational and informative

Me and my hubby are their loyal customer for a long time but this is our first time to visit the Majella Wines in Coonawarra. It's so lovely experience with everything here. Friendly, good sense of humour and informative staff, various wine tasting and breath taking scenery. We ended up with a box of 6 different bottles and absolutely will come back again to purchase more products in the future.

The Majella Cabernet Sauvignon is one of my favourites from Coonawarra. I was happy to be able to finally visit their cellar door and I wasn't disappointed. The tasting is free and extremely generous. All the wines on the list were available for sample. Harry was very enthusiastic and full of information about the wines we were tasting. From the tasting, I discovered that in addition to their Cab Sav, I can now add their Shiraz and Merlot to the list!

Great winery to stop at in Coonawarra. Lovely selection for tasting. GPL definitely one to look out for. Also the eau de vin!

Hi team at Magella.just had to connect. We had the privilege of visiting cellar door when first open.small cellar door.We were wowed by the quality. You guys just grew and grew.We visited whenever we we could. Always purchased wine..One of our recent delights was a 2020 Shiraz...AMAZING is not enough. Just want more.Please do you have any of this vintage left.Each year we tried one. And the last 5years later was paradise in a glass.Blueberries blackberries a hint of pepper and spice..Thank you we will visit again SOON. Dotti and Steve.Mclaren Vale area.

What a lovely vineyard and Lisa was just fantastic thank you for our wine experience

Beautiful Cabernet Sauvignon wine. Our favourite in the region (so far)! Lovely service at the cellar door. Great range of wines and prices.

Coonawarra cellar door sales appears to be permanently closed.

100% worth a visit here, even if you’re only travelling through Coonawarra. The staff were wonderful and the wines are really good value, as well as being delicious.

Amazing wine, very friendly stuff, great environment, great time had by all. Did I mention the lovely knowledgeable friendly staff. Thank-you Penley Estate.

Penley Estate wines are simply beautiful. If your travelling through the Coonawarra wine region Penley Estate is not to be missed.

This is for experienced drinkers.

The most enjoyable and relaxed winery visit in our trip to the Coonawarra. Unpretentious. Knowledgeable staff. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Imogen was engaging helpful and full of information. I wish her a long career in the wine industry.

A really nice cellar door. We were greeted at the door and it was not busy. Had a very nice wine tasting and were happy to pay the $5 per person tasting charge as the proceeds go to good charities. We tried most wines with the standout wine being the 2015 Cabernet Merlot and the 2020 Cab Sav gets an honorable mention (although it is still young and can lay down for a while more). The Sparkling Cab Sav divided opinion 50-50. On a nicer warmer day sitting outside on the deck looking over the lake would have been lovely.

A must stop in the Coonawarra! We had a wine tasting on the deck. It was a lovely experience! The staff took time to explain each wine. The whole setting is gorgeous from the rose gardens, to the wine room with glass floors, to the deck on the pond across from the most beautiful gum tree. Even the bathroom was lovely. We purchased three bottles.

Wonderful wines, we really like them all! Cab sav and Shiraz were the red highlights, the Chardonnay was also lovely. $5 tasting fee donated to RFDS. The cellar door host was very friendly and knowledgeable, and the lake side setting was nice too. Platter picnic boxes are available

Visited Balnaves with my husband, baby and parents travelling from Adelaide. Amazing location, peaceful, and we were welcomed as soon as we arrived. A big shout out to Imogen, she was excellent and made our experience so enjoyable. Her knowledge of the wines made it such a great tasting. She took photos for us without asking and sorted out a delicious cheese platter within minutes! Cannot fault the wine each tasting was delicious but Imogen and her service is what made this the best winery we visited in Coonawarra! Out of 8 wineries, thank you Imogen.

Beautiful location overlooking a lake. Exceptional wines at a very reasonable price. Great food platter. Lovely and informative service by Shelley. Very highly recommended.

I really enjoyed the location and the tasting experience here. The young lady staff was so sweet, informative and helpful so we bought some of their products and she made our day (though the rain was such a shame).

We stayed here 2A1C. We will definitely be coming back with the whole family. Friendly, Accommodating, Price is great, Clean, Spacious, Beautiful. Thank you so much!

Just spent the night there, the name is true, we saw lots of cockatoos, great spot to stop

Beautiful bush camp site with hot showers and flushing toilets set amongst red gums. Facilities are basic compared to a caravan park, but if you're a bush camper it is absolute luxury for a fraction of the price. Also a long way from main roads so at night you can just enjoy the sounds of the country side without any vehicle noise.

Liz, the host is very friendly and informative about local attractions. There is a great bushwalk that is 3 km long with a sandy path. The facilities are sufficient and there is more than enough space for everybody to spread out (several hectares)

We had the perfect night ...and going back asap. Beautiful surroundings, people and Kevin the kookaburra ❤️. Thank you Liz xx

A very relaxing place to stay, very clean toilets, nice showers, camp fires. Bunkhouse accommodation and camp kitchen available, also tent sites and powered caravan sites (extra $5 per night). Nearby nature walk. $25pp per night. Generator power only available 4 hours per day (7-9am and 6-8pm).

Beautiful place to camp , but website says powered sites but there are no powered sites , so very cold , was a bit disappointed, and a bit expensive for no powered sites , would be number 1 for me if it had powered sites ,

My husband and I have done the stick tomato self-guided tour and both the Alexandra and Victoria guided tours with Jack as the tour guide. We had an amazing time and Jack is extremely personable and bursting full of information. Jack can read his audiences and is thoughtful of the needs of the people on the tour. It is quite obvious he loves what he does, we will be back to do the Blanche cave when the bats are not hibernating

We purchased the self guided cave entry which came with the complimentary entry to the museum of fossils. The fossil museum was well done it's great for children and adults. The stairs to the cave are a bit slippery so wear proper footwear.

I visited Naracoorte Caves National Park with my Year 6 and Year 1 kids. The bat tour’s live viewing and conservation insights, plus the Victoria Fossil Cave’s fossils and storytelling, made it outstanding for my Year 6: very educational and engaging. Stick-Tomato Cave was a nice, shorter add-on. My Year 1 found some caves dark and long, so younger children may lose interest if doing tours one by one on the same day. Highly recommend for upper primary learners.

Did the Alexandra and the Victoria Fossil caves , found it very educational and interesting to learn about the animals that use to walk this earth! The guides were extremely knowledgeable. Did find it hard as we travel with dogs and dogs are not allowed in the park grounds .

Unfortunately only had time for the victoria fossil caves, we will definitely be back to tour all the caves this park has to offer in one day. Our tour guide (Barb) was fantastic, she was considerate and very knowledgeable. If you are considering these caves, do it.

Amazing, wonderful and naturally created . Staff are so friendly and Informative . Each cave and walk is easily accessible . You definitely need to pre-book your cave experience as they fill quite quickly . This can be a complete days experience or just a few hours . There's a cafe with indoor/outdoor seating and plenty of picnic areas .

From the very first moment, the atmosphere draws you in with its beauty and tranquility. Every corner has something special that makes you forget the outside world. A magical experience that invites you to disconnect and simply enjoy.

Another absolutely fascinating country museum. A $10 entry (concessions and discounts available) gets you access to three floors of local and farming history as well as a range of outbuildings including a complete schoolroom, relocated original buildings and loads of old machinery. There's a beautifully detailed model railway and decent shop. The main building is also home to the tourist information center. The only thing I'd have liked to have seen was some more information about some of the machines in the grounds - I thought I could recognize or, at least, figure out the purpose of most farm kit but some of these old machines left me scratching my head.

Loved this museum , well kept with extremely friendly staff. Great look into Australian country life and evolution. With a wonderful kids museum that makes “boring history” seem fun

We (2 adults + 3 kids) really enjoyed our visit. We spent about 75 minutes. The staff were really great. The displays were really great. The history of the area plus a number of buildings from the region have been brought to this site. Our kids loved the school building. Fun place to visit, interesting for everyone and a great location.

Great local museum in Naracoorte with alot of interesting historical items to look at and walk through about the region and the sheep's back, worth a visit.

This museum was great! A very detailed look in to the regions history and a wealth of information about current attractions and things to do. Anne was lovely and very helpful, would definitely recommend this experience to others.

This is a really worthwhile museum to visit. It is part of the Visitor Information Centre and close to the town centre. It takes a comprehensive approach to the wool industry in Australia that goes beyond the more commonly known narrative. I particularly liked its focus on contemporary times, both practices and policies, such as land overclearing, conservation and new technologies. The gift shop is also very good, and the staff were lovely.

The adjoining information centre has a great variety of souveniors. The display of trains and railway model is impressive. Outside garden area is stunning beautiful with poppy blossom.
