This is a challenging walk of around 6.5 kms return. Most of the walk to the summit is up steep sections and several steps (we counted 950 stairs in all). We completed the walk up in 1 hour and it was quite cold up the top (even though it was only early March). Once at the top you can take in unparalled views around the countryside of all the surrounding mountains and plains. Piccaninny pails into insignificance from the top of Mount Abrupt. This is well worth the effort and (having done all the Grampians walks) I would rate this one as one of the best. Do it!

Near Natimuk, Mount Arapiles is a great place to stop when passing through Western Victoria. It is on the road from Horsham to Edenhope then Naracoorte (South Australia). A short drive takes you to the summit car park, where a short steep walk up a rocky "staircase" leads you to the summit and the lookout. People visiting the summit need to be agile - the walk is part man-made and part natural rock (ie not for the grandparents with their walking frames). There isn't a view from the car park itself. If you have time take the separate road the camp ground at the base and look out for the rock climbers up on the cliffs.

I had low expectations for what a zoo could offer in the grampians, however it was such an impressive zoo. There was such a range of animals, from pigs, monkeys, kangaroos, and giraffes. There is a map, which guides you through the zoo to ensure you see every animal. There is animal food sold at the entrance, so you are even able to feed free roaming deer, kangaroos and wallabies. I particularly liked the guineapigs, as there were so many of them, and lots of little babies.

Well worth the effort. We went after rain and the falls were superb. Hike back up was definitely a work out! We continued down to fish falls for some extra scenery before heading back.

The gardens are laden with beautiful green shady European trees and rambling green lawns and is a great place to go on a hot day. As soon as you enter you can feel a cool drop in the temperature, because of the shade and greenness, giving instant relief. There's a lovely duck and fish pond with a walking bridge and kids love to feed the ducks. There's also a playground and plenty of room for children to play and run around. There's a lovely rotunda on the lawn area and a beautiful old water fountain along the path that rambles throughout the gardens. A great place to take the family.

The walk from the Zumsteins Picnic Ground to Fish Falls, in the beautiful Wartook Valley, is a delightful nature walk that follows the creek to the falls. A medium level of fitness is required, as there are some uneven sections and rocky ground in places. As well as beautiful fresh air and the sounds of birds, views of the creek break up the walk along the way. Fish Falls are accessible from 3 levels linked by sturdy metal stairs. From the top level you can rock hop over a few large boulders to access the track which continues on to the base of Mackenzie Falls. This is an easier option to get to the base of Mackenzie Falls (rather than the steep climb down and up from the Mackenzie Falls car park). All up the walk is about 7 km return, well worth the effort to enjoy the beautiful scenery and be immersed in the sights, smells and sounds of nature. Take a back pack and break the walk up with stops for lunch and snacks and you will have an enjoyable morning/afternoon outing.

Amazing to visit after rain. Easy viewing platform right at car park or you can walk down the stairs (5 mins). Probably my favourite waterfalls in Victoria due to accessibility. The reserve has toilets,bins and picnic area.
