• Melbourne - The day begins early, departing from Melbourne promptly at 7:35 am. Guests are encouraged to have breakfast before the tour, as a long drive awaits.
• Beaufort - The adventure starts in the relaxed town of Beaufort, ideal for a morning stretch and a snack. Then, it’s straight into the excitement as we head to Grampians National Park!
• Halls Gap Visitor Information Centre - Upon reaching the stunning National Park, we visit the Halls Gap Visitor Centre, where you can explore and witness the creation stories that form the lore of this diverse landscape. Wander around the cultural centre to spot wallabies, emus, and possibly even echidnas in the bush. Gain a deeper appreciation of Gariwerd’s significance for the Indigenous people.

• MacKenzie Falls - Arguably the most renowned waterfall in Victoria, we hike down to the base and back to admire the impressive water flow and feel the refreshing spray in the air. The hike involves about 250 steps to the base and back, and if you prefer a gentler flat walk over the top of the falls, that’s perfectly fine!

If MacKenzie Falls is ever closed to the public, this stop will be replaced with a serene hike to Silverband Falls.
