Looking up, it is an azure sky on a bright day with some white clouds. Below lay a sapphire blue lake, and on the horizon, a vast expanse of rugged mountain ranges, and rocky cliffs, highlighted by the changing dusty hues.
A vantage spot to stand on to have a thrilling view of the town below. Pan out to your right, and you see the hanging rock formation perching on a cliff—As you look further, a lake hosts serene waters surrounded by foggy hills.

Dramatic landscape
Like giant ocean waves, the rocky hills and mountain ranges created breathtaking views of a seemingly bleak but dramatic landscape.
No, it is not a scenery out of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy. It describes the views from the Boroka Lookout in the Grampians.
Getting to the lookout
The usual image popping out when thinking about the Grampians suggests a difficult road to reach the mountaintop. Getting to the Boroka Lookout, however, proves easier than imagined. From the scenic Halls Gap, the heart of the Grampians, take a 15-kilometer drive to Mount Difficult Road. Follow the sealed road until you reach the desired destination. Head straight to the car park near the lookout. Take a 5-minute walk, a 90-meter distance, to get to one of the Grampians’ great lookouts.
Views from Boroka
Enjoy the views of the fantastic Grampians panorama, a perfect picture with 360-degree views of Western Victoria.
From the Boroka Lookout, see below the town of Halls Gap, Lake Bellfield, and Fyans Valley. Pan around to view the ranges of Mount William and Wonderland.
On your right, a rock stands tall upon a flat rock forming a hanging cliff. Below glows lush vegetation leading down into the valley and to the nearby town. Look a little further, and you see the lake serenely sleeping, surrounded by rolling hills thinly covered with fog.
Toward the east lay the valleys of the Grampians. Farther to the right, you can see the wavy and rugged mountain ranges. To the left stretches a plain horizon highlighted by the changing colors of dusty brown to orangey sunlight.
