Things to do

The Grampians National Park is a great place to enjoy an endless array of outdoor activities, including bushwalking, picnicing, camping, rock-climbing, fishing, photography, bird-watching, nature study and car touring. The roads are suitable for cyclists and there are also many tracks to explore throughout the National Park for the 4WD enthusiast..

Explore the many significant Aboriginal art sites open to the public.  The Park is spectacular at any time of the year, but Spring is the main wildflower season and when the waterfalls are at their best and autumn days are ideal for bushwalking.
