We’ll kick off our journey from the iconic St. Paul’s Cathedral, a perfect central spot and head on to the Grampians National Park.

The Pinnacles in the Grampians National Park are a stunning natural attraction known for their dramatic rock formations and breathtaking views. Here are some highlights:

Scenic Views: The Pinnacles offer panoramic vistas of the surrounding landscapes, including the nearby mountains and valleys. The lookout point is particularly stunning at sunrise and sunset.
The Trail: The hike to the Pinnacles is rewarding, with a well-marked trail that takes you through diverse vegetation and provides various vantage points along the way.
Wildlife Spotting: The area is home to various wildlife species, so keep an eye out for kangaroos, emus, and numerous bird species.
Cultural Significance: The Grampians region holds cultural significance for the Indigenous communities, and there are opportunities to learn about their heritage and connection to the land.
Photography: The striking rock formations and surrounding scenery make it a fantastic location for photography, especially during the golden hours.
