Travel across the city of Ballarat, Victoria's second largest regional center and explore its cosmopolitan lifestyle which blends beautifully with the ethnic elegance of the gold rush era. The Grampians National Park covers a large area in the west of Victoria. There are some great Aboriginal rock art sites set amongst the beautiful flowers and rocky landscape. It is a popular spot for bush walking and rock climbing to simply admiring the spectacular views. Nestled in the heart of the Grampians, Halls Gap is a beautiful small town housing a number of cafes and tourist shops facing the grassy terrain fronting Stony Creek. The Grampians have been frequented by holidaymakers and trekkers, seeking a mountain forest and lake aura, time and again. Admire the phenomenal Jaws of Death and feast on the panoramic beauty of the landscape from the Boroka lookout and the Balconies.
The stupendous MacKenzie Falls impress with their mammoth torrents of water descending over huge cliffs into a deep pool. Spot deer, kangaroos, rosellas and kookaburras amidst a rich cloister of flora at the Zumsteins Park. The Grampians is indeed a unique getaway to a land of serenity.
