Stop to smell the wildflowers at Pomonal, a picturesque village set against the dramatic backdrop of the Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park and only a short 10-minute drive from Halls Gap. Famous for its native flowers and orchids, the area’s rolling green hills make a gorgeous backdrop to nature walks, vineyards visits and farm gate expeditions.
Local tips:
- Stop by farm gates to fill up the boot with local produce and wares. Call in for a wine, beer or cider at Pomonal Estate, you can even stay the night on-site at their beautifully appointed Mt Cassel Villa and the luxurious villas. Book a lunch at the cellar door and then walk back to your villa for a relaxing evening taking in the views.
- Water sport enthusiasts and anglers alike will delight in all that nearby Lake Fyans has to offer. Visitors to the region can enjoy a relaxing swim, water skiing, jet skiing, sailing, or a spot of fishing. Even better, stay right on the water's edge at Lake Fyans Holiday Park.
