Overview and Itinerary:

Old town famous in the Gold Rush! ● See the beautiful, famous and historical McKenzie Falls ● Get a picture with a Kangaroo! They are very common in the Grampians National Park ● Visit the local town; Halls Gap - population 613 ● Get a photo at Reed Lookout with a spectacular view out over Halls Gap & The Grampians. ● 1km walk (return) to the Balconies (the "jaws of death") for incredible views and photographs ● Breathtaking views of Boroka Lookout
=== Safety - important for The Grampians === An important part of our Grampians trip is the safety education our guides provide to people while visiting. Unlike other destinations, the Grampians has specific safety issues that a few unlucky visitors have underestimated in the past and paid dearly. People that have had incidents in the Grampians have almost always visited by themselves (not with a tour company like New To Melbourne). Our tour guides are trained in safety and safety education specifically for this trip. Please remember to stay safe friends.
