WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE
Itinerary
Day 1 – Borough Huts Campground to Mt Rosea carpark- 11km
Departing Melbourne at 8:30am on Saturday mornings, we drive for 3 hours to Halls Gap (1-2 stops along the way). Arriving at Halls Gap guests will have a chance to stretch their legs and buy lunch before we drive to Borough Huts campground. From here we commence an 8.5km walk up to the summit of Mt Rosea. The walk gradually ascends up to the summit through fern gullies and striking sandstone rock features that make this walk one of the most unique hikes in Victoria.
At the Summit of Mt Rosea we’ll stop to take in the 360 degree views over Lake Bellfield and the entire Grampians National Park. With the more difficult part of the walk over, we ease into the afternoon with an amazing ridgeline walk for 2.5km before arriving at Mt Rosea carpark at approx. 5pm. From here a shuttle service will pick us up and take us back to the van where you’ll then be driven to the Halls Gap caravan park where we’ll cook dinner. If it looks like its going to be an amazing sunset, we’ll drive 15 minutes back up the mountain to Reids Lookout which is the best sunset spot in the park. In the evening, expect to enjoy a beverage or two around the campfire.
Day 2 – Mt Rosea carpark to Halls Gap – 10km
After breakfast, we leave the campground at 8:30am and depart for Mt Rosea Carpark. From here we walk through dense forest for approx. an hour heading towards the Wonderland Range where the views open up at the spectacular Lakeview lookout. From here we continue to walk along the ridgeline to the famous Pinnacles lookout. We spend some time here soaking up the views before walking the last 3.5km to Halls Gap via the Venus Baths where guests can cool off in the rockpools if they like.
Guests will then have the chance to relax and buy lunch in Halls Gap before driving up Mackenzie Falls, the largest in Victoria. It requires a short steep return walk of 1.8km’s but the experience is worth it. To celebrate the weekend we finish off the tour with a stop at either Seppelt or Bests winery in the wine village of Great Western
