Departing Melbourne at around 8am, you'll pass through Western Plains of Victoria on the way to historic Ballarat. Ballarat boomed in the 1850’s with the widespread discovery of gold in the district. Learn a little about the history and enjoy morning tea at the site of the infamous Eureka Rebellion. Continue the drive through the picturesque western volcanic plains, passing through the town of Moyston, the birthplace of Australian Rules Football.
Arrive at the foot of the Grampians Range known as Gariwerd in the local Jardwadjali language and immerse yourself in the Australian bush with a gentle stroll to Silverband Falls.
Continue to the township of Halls Gap for lunch. Keep an eye open for the local kangaroos and the abundant birdlife that can be seen in the main street. After lunch, head to the Wonderland Turntable for a short hike to the Grand Canyon.
Your last stop is MacKenzie Falls. No trip to the Grampians would be complete without a visit to these majestic falls.

Aaron was fantastic and the tour was so much fun! Lots of awesome sights to see in and around the Grampians and Aaron even stopped to let us hang out with some kangaroos. The hikes were a little challenging for someone out of shape like me but not too long, and well worth it for the photo spots, especially McKenzie Falls and Reeds Lookout. Aaron was knowledgeable and informed us about all the local wildlife and history, but also knew when to let us doze off. I could've done without the land acknowledgements and lecturing about the evils of white people, but I've been in Australia long enough to know this sort of thing is expected. Overall a great experience.

It was nice engaging with the tour guide as he provided information regarding the places visited and also talked a little bit about the nature behind each pitstop. There was a bit of walking and climbing, though not too much. Definitely not for people who are afraid of heights

Great tour with our guide and driver Aaron. Beautiful waterfalls, a challenging tour through the grand canyon and beautiful views, despite the clouds, with a little patience they disappeared...
We also saw loads of wild kangaroos.
Highly recommended
