The Southern Grampians in Victoria, Australia, offer a range of beautiful parks and natural attractions for visitors to explore. The Grampians National Park, part of the Gariwerd Aboriginal cultural landscape, is known for its world-famous hiking trails, majestic waterfalls, and stunning wildflower displays. There are two main drives in the Southern Grampians, both starting in Halls Gap. One loop takes in Mt William, Mirranatwa Gap, The Piccaninny, and returns to Halls Gap. Another drive includes some unsealed roads and features Paddy Castle, Billimina Shelter, and Manja Shelter before returning to Halls Gap. For those interested in a 4WD adventure, the Grampians Iconic 4WD brochure details a popular easy-medium route.
