The Grampians.
The Grampians National Park is 235 kilometres west of Melbourne and 510 kilometres south-east of Adelaide.
The ranges were named in 1836 by Surveyor General of New South Wales Sir Thomas Mitchell after the Grampian Mountains in his native Scotland, but are also known by the name Gariwerd, from one of the local Australian Aboriginal languages.
The Jardwadjali and Djab Wurrung Aboriginal people have lived in and around the mountains and valleys for thousands of years.
The Grampians are a series of five spectacular sandstone ridges running north to south with stunning panoramic views as well as a number of picturesque walking tracks and lookouts.
The Grampians National Park offers great walking, wildflowers and native fauna, aboriginal rock art sites, waterfalls and lookouts.
