I've seen glass blowing before; but this was different. it was up close. You could watch an entire piece being formed like magic in front of your eyes. James is very laid back; lets you take photos; low pressure. And his items are gorgeous. I just had to buy a beautiful vase to bring home with me.

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.

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.

The drive to the car park was lovely, the roadside in places adorned with an array of wildflowers (it is Spring). Unfortunately the day we chose to go on this very steep walk, there was a lot of low cloud and drizzly rain so the only scenery on the way up was the roadside flora, which were enjoyed on our many stops to catch our breath. On reaching the summit there was no view at all (as we had expected) due to the low cloud. We did not stay long before beginning our decent. We had not gone very far before the cloud began to lift with magical swirling cloud formations, giving us a peak at the landscape beyond. We decided to go back up to the summit and were rewarded with the most amazing 360 degree views of Grampians and the area surrounding it as the cloud totally lifted (we were very lucky). On the decent we were able to enjoy the surrounding landscape that we missed on the way up. So we had two very different experiences, both amazingly beautiful. Would definitely recommend but be prepared for a heart racing ascent. The road is sealed so you do not have to negotiate an uneven track, but it is very steep.

Chatauqua Peak is the Top of Mt William near Halle Gap. To get up there you have to climb rocks, only for very experienced hikers!

This is part of a most enjoyable, fairly short walk with the reward of great views from the top. Well worth the effort.

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.
