Itinerary

Wildlife Tours Australia designed a 2 day Grampians wildlife tour that lets you explore and experience the richness of western Victoria. The tour brings you to the mountain ranges 235 kilometers west of Melbourne, to the Grampians National Park where the Great Dividing Range, which stretches north to Queensland, dissolves. Wander in the wilds and the exotic corners of Australia’s authentic outback.

Departing Melbourne CBD at around 7 to 8 AM, we stop by Beaufort, a quaint township en route to the Grampians, and return at approximately 9 PM on the same day. Our picnic lunch is on the spot with a stunning backdrop – surrounded by impressive mountain views and panoramic Grampians landscapes.

Lookouts

We visit famous lookouts and viewing platforms where you can experience the breathtaking views and the classic Grampians panorama. Enjoy the picturesque vistas of the region from Boroka Lookout, Jaws of Death, or The Balconies. At the award-winning Brambuk Aboriginal Cultural Centre, you get to know the Aboriginal heritage and culture – they’re the traditional land owners with thousands of years of history. More than 5,000 years ago, the indigenous inhabitants of Gariwerd (the Grampian’s traditional name) occupied the region and left historical artifacts, the Aboriginal rock arts. They have a rich heritage and tradition, as can be gleaned from their stories, legends, and myths. You can also learn about the region’s different plants and animal species. The Grampians is home to hundreds of native wildlife and bird species. The woodlands, open forests, swamplands, grasslands, and waterways serve as natural wildlife habitats.

Wildlife Encounters

It is a wildlife wonderland where kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, possums, echidnas, gliders, emus, and other native animals in the region roam freely in the wild.

Also, the region hosts over 800 species of indigenous plants, including Grampians Gum and Grampians Parrot-pea. These plant species can’t be found elsewhere but the Grampians. They are endemic to the area.

Grampians National Park Travel Bushwalking

Embark on a bushwalking adventure to Lake Bellfield, MacKenzie Falls, or Silverband Falls. While hiking, be always on the lookout for the native wild animals and open your ears to nature’s soothing music – singing birds, falling waters, flowing streams, and dancing leaves blown by the gentle breeze.
