The Grampians
Adventures
Do you crave adventure? The Grampians, Victoria, only three hours out of Melbourne, Australia will satisfy that craving.
Imagine soaring in a hot air balloon at dawn, above mind-blowing scenery. Ballooning gives way to a Grampians scenic flight, dipping into valleys and climbing the peaks without effort.
On the ground, explore the many walking trails in the Grampians. Of course this doesn't mean you have to walk! What about mountain biking down the Grampians trails or taking in a leisurely Grampians cycling tour along the flatter paths and roads that criss-cross the area?
Golfing in the Grampians doubles as a scenic tour, with many of the courses located in stunning surrounds. Horse riding just like the early pioneer settlers, is a great way to get close to the native flora and fauna.
If you like a bit more horse-power, then try four-wheel driving in the Grampians labyrinth of tracks. You will need to pick up a map of the Grampians to find the best tracks for your Grampians driving holiday.
If you want to get close to the land - then you can't get any closer than rock climbing in the Grampians. The famous Mt Arapiles has amazing climbs suiting everyone from beginners to extreme. It is also known for being a great place for abseiling in the Grampians.
Holding over 1/3 of all of the lakes in Victoria, Australia, water sports are also popular. Imagine canoeing in the Grampians or kayaking the reflective lakes and trickling rivers. You can even catch your dinner with golden perch, brown or rainbow trout on offer while fishing the Grampians.
