WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE
GRAMPIANS TOUR ITINERARY
Day 1
– After departing Melbourne at 8:30am we make 2 stops along the way for toilet and coffee breaks before arriving at Halls Gap in the Grampians at approx. 11:45am. Our first stop is the Halls Gap oval where we’ll have a picnic lunch for 30 minutes before heading into the interior of the National Park.
– Our first stop is Reid’s lookout which provides an awesome view over the Victoria Valley and highlights the sheer size of the National Park. We then take a short walk to the Balconies where the Jaws of Death rock formation provides a great photo opportunity.
– Next stop is MacKenzie Falls, one of the largest waterfalls in Victoria! We take a short walk to the base of the falls and then onto Fish Falls further downstream. This area was badly affected by the January 2014 bushfires and this walk gives a great opportunity to see how the native vegetation is recovering.
– We now have a short drive back to Halls Gap and on the way we’ll stop at Boroka Lookout which provides an amazing view over the Wonderland range, Halls Gap township, Lake Bellfield and further south towards Mt William.
– It’s now time to head back to Halls Gap caravan park where we will setup camp and cook dinner at the nearby BBQ facilities. There is time for guests to have a shower and or help to start the campfire before eating dinner.
– After dinner we head to the Halls Gap oval to hang out with the local Kangaroos and we’ll often see Kookaburras and Cockatoos.
Day 2
– For those that are interested I highly recommend getting up for sunrise at Boroka Lookout! It will make for one of the best photo opportunities you’ll get in Victoria.
– Today is all about exploring the Wonderland mountain range that imposes itself over Halls Gap. Depending on the fitness of the group we can either depart from the Wonderland carpark or Sundial carpark. Both walks are approx. 2.1km each way to the Pinnacles lookout but one is easier than the other.
– Once we’ve completed the Pinnacles walk we’ll head into town for a picnic lunch before heading to the Brambruk Cultural Centre which has been developed to showcase the rich aboriginal heritage of the Grampians (Gariwerd) region. We’ll have an opportunity to watch a presentation on Aboriginal culture, listen to a didgeridoo performance and learn about the six seasons that occur in the Geriward and how the lives of the Jardwadjali and Djab Wurrung tribes were linked to this cycle.
– After a weekend filled with mountain scenery, unique rock formations, waterfalls, wildlife and aboriginal culture its now time to sample what else the region is famous for and that’s it’s wines! We’ll stop at Great Western Seppelt Winery for a tasting before driving back to Melbourne for a 7pm to 7:30pm arrival.

Kelvin Deer2024-07-01Jono (Good Time Tours) is a must if you are looking for something a bit bespoke and not your average trip out of Melbourne. Nothing was too difficult for Jono. From the suggested itinerary, the various pickups and then throughout the day, we had a knowledgeable local who shared his experiences with our group. Thanks Jono.... legend!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Cindy Kennedy2024-05-06Organised this wine tour to celebrate a couple of birthdays from work. Jono was very approachable, accommodating and flexible in terms of letting us choose our lunch destination. Each cellar door was very welcoming as Jono knew some of the winemakers and introduced us to them. Jono even went as far as suggesting this gorgeous spot for a great autumn pic. Overall everyone absolutely enjoyed their time and we will most likely book Jono again.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Paul & Marie-Louise McElwee2024-04-30We had an excellent trip to the Yarra Valley with Jono on Anzac Day.
