Grampians Tours

 

With only half a day gone, we make our way deeper into the Grampians National Park. After our picnic lunch we walk to the Mac Kenzie Falls, which flows year-round and is one of Victoria's largest and most spectacular waterfalls. Our next stop is the Reed Lookout with views to the Victoria Valley. The Balconies, two sandstone rocks jutting from a cliff face also known as the "Jaws of Death", are another place to take in the panoramic views of this beautiful valley. It is time to head back to Halls Gap for a delicious dinner and a second night at our accommodation.

Day 3 After a hearty breakfast we head to the Grampians Wonderland with a choice of two hikes. A five hour return hike from our accommodation or a shorter two and a half hour medium hike from the Wonderland car park. Either hike will leave us well rewarded with the spectacular sights they offer. For those not wanting to walk that far, why not take the easy stroll along the Venus Bath Loop. The track winds along the creek and past some towering sandstone cliffs. And in town you might like to visit Steve Morvell's art studio. Steve is a highly acclaimed nature artist and his work is truly stunning. Back at our accommodation we enjoy our last dinner together.

Day 4 You thought this Explorer Tour was finished, not quite yet. Come and discover the Heatherlie Quarry a significant historic landmark to the Grampians. Less than 14km north of Halls Gap we find winches, hoppers, remains of a steam engine and a crane and also three old stone cottages. After this very interesting 2km walk it is time to make our way back to Adelaide. Our journey will take us through some of South Australia´s most beautiful country side. We travel through Horsham onto Naracoorte and it´s caves, South Australia´s only World Heritage site. The Naracoorte Caves have an extensive fossil record and we learn about the history of the past half a million years on a guided tour into the Victoria Fossil Cave. We continue our return travel to Adelaide arriving around 7.30 pm.
