Grampians National Park

Grampians National Park protects a distinctive sandstone mountain landscape in western Victoria that rises from the flat Wimmera plains to form a series of rugged, north-south trending ranges. The park's terrain is characterized by steep eastern faces where sedimentary layers have faulted, creating near-vertical cliffs and dramatic rock formations such as The Fortress. The landscape supports a network of well-developed walking tracks, with the 164-kilometre Grampians Peaks Trail crossing the length of the park on a 13-day hiking route opened in 2021. The park is bordered by the Western Highway to the north and the Glenelg Highway to the south, with the town of Halls Gap serving as the main visitor accommodation hub on the eastern side of the ranges. The Brambuk National Park and Cultural Centre in Halls Gap is owned and managed by Jardwadjali and Djab Wurrung peoples from five Aboriginal communities with historic links to the Gariwerd-Grampians ranges.
