I had low expectations for what a zoo could offer in the grampians, however it was such an impressive zoo. There was such a range of animals, from pigs, monkeys, kangaroos, and giraffes. There is a map, which guides you through the zoo to ensure you see every animal. There is animal food sold at the entrance, so you are even able to feed free roaming deer, kangaroos and wallabies. I particularly liked the guineapigs, as there were so many of them, and lots of little babies.

Reed Lookout

Reviewed By christinebU9253EF - Frankston, Australia

This Lookout had a great view, and it next to the carpark, there is another lookout within a short walking distance from this one. It can get busy during peak times. But the views are worthwhile to look at.

Fish Falls

Reviewed By felicityc60 - Adelaide, Australia

The walk from the Zumsteins Picnic Ground to Fish Falls, in the beautiful Wartook Valley, is a delightful nature walk that follows the creek to the falls. A medium level of fitness is required, as there are some uneven sections and rocky ground in places. As well as beautiful fresh air and the sounds of birds, views of the creek break up the walk along the way. Fish Falls are accessible from 3 levels linked by sturdy metal stairs. From the top level you can rock hop over a few large boulders to access the track which continues on to the base of Mackenzie Falls. This is an easier option to get to the base of Mackenzie Falls (rather than the steep climb down and up from the Mackenzie Falls car park). All up the walk is about 7 km return, well worth the effort to enjoy the beautiful scenery and be immersed in the sights, smells and sounds of nature. Take a back pack and break the walk up with stops for lunch and snacks and you will have an enjoyable morning/afternoon outing.

Boroka Lookout

Reviewed By Crystalline4u - Traralgon, Australia

We went to this lookout late in the afternoon and there was fog ... it was hard to see the views, but even with the fog... it was easy to recognise that the views must be quite good. So... the next day, we headed back to see what we had missed. Even on an overcast Winter's Day ... the views are incredible. These are unrivalled views over the Halls Gap valley, Mt William range and the farmland plains to the east. Pan out to your right, you see the hanging rock formation perching on a cliff. As you look further, a lake hosts the serene waters surrounded by foggy hills. And how do you get to this lookout? From the scenic Halls Gap, the heart of the Grampians, take a 15-kilometre drive to Mount Difficult Road. Follow the sealed road until you reach the desired destination. It's less than 100 metres from the carpark to the viewing platform and even people with mobility issues should be able to view from here...as the path to the platform is quite good.

Venus Baths Loop

Reviewed By Davoxx - Geelong & Bellarine, Australia

An easy walk from the centre of Halls Gap, with two different paths to choose from... one from within the camping section of the Caravan park, one thru the botanic gardens. We chose different each way. When you get to the end, there are several pools to paddle in, depending on seasonal rainfall. Great fun after a sunny walk.
