Description
Check the link above to Parks Victoria for any latest news or changes in conditions.
This is a great little walk that is best done earlier in the morning at busier times of the year as it can get a bit busy. The views are fantastic.
In Spring time the wildflowers are magnificent ! Lots of birdlife and you might see a wallaby if you are lucky.
No Dogs allowed in the Grampians National Park.

Points of Interest
1. The path
The path from the car park is a relatively smooth walk.
2. Wildflowers
In Spring there are lots of different wildflowers.
3. First seat
There are a few seats, but this one faces the wrong way away from the view! But you can say hello to other walkers on the path which is nice.
4. The bridge
The bridge makes for an easy walk.
5. Cairns
There are many rock stacks along the walk. They may look nice, but please DO NOT stack rocks as they destroy the environment and shelter for small animals (eg lizards) and insects (see link).
6. Rocky outcrop
A beautiful spot to look around for lizards.
7. Beautiful mosses
If you are lucky you might find some beautiful mosses among the rocks.
8. Wildflowers
More wildflowers, when we were here in early November there were heaps!
9. Bush seats
There are three seats that someone has cut out of old tree stumps, very creative.
10. The track
The track gets a little more shelter from some taller trees here. Nice dappled light and look for the odd wallaby.
11. The lookout
Anticipation as you near the lookout.
12. The Balconies
The view is amazing, you could spend the day here!
