The Grampians National Park is in the northwest of Victoria. Famous for its series of five spectacular sandstone ridges running north to south with steep and craggy slopes on the eastern side and gentler slopes to the west, the Grampians are the result of earth movements lifting and tilting the hard sandstones to create an impressive landscape of peaks and valleys.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Your day trip to this wonderful part of the state begins early with a 6:30 am departure from Melbourne. Doing so means the trip stays ahead of the other tour buses, and you get to enjoy a much less crowded experience.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Driving west out of Melbourne, the tour heads straight for the Grampians to visit a variety of lookouts for incredible views. The&nbsp;first stop is Boroka Lookout, where you will get great views over the village of Halls Gap. Next is&nbsp;Reed Lookout and The Balconies (formerly known as the Jaws of Death), then the&nbsp;final lookout for the morning is the McKenzie Falls, with an epic 400 steps to the bottom.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

While you&#39;re travelling, remember to look out for the vast number of wildlife, including kangaroos and wallabies. Many varieties of birdlife, including cockatoos, frequent Halls Gap and the surrounding areas.

&nbsp;

Descending from the mountains, stop in Halls Gap for lunch (not included). You&#39;ll have time to&nbsp;browse the local shops, buy ice cream or some local fudge.

&nbsp;

After lunch, the last stop is the Brambuk the National Park &amp; Cultural Centre where you get to learn about some of the indigenous&nbsp;history of the Grampians. Once you&#39;re finished here, the journey back to Melbourne begins, arriving at approximately 7:00 pm.&nbsp;
