FEELS LIKE history, nature and wine collide

The Central Grampians feels like a landscape that tells its story in layers, where nature, history and culture intertwine across towns waiting to be discovered.

Halls Gap beckons with its rugged cliffs, hidden rock art and roaming wildlife, a place where walking trails lead to quiet wonder. Pomonal offers serenity among vineyards and the reflective waters of Lake Fyans, where the tunnel track curves through bushland and invites slow exploration. Great Western carries the echoes of winemaking pioneers, with underground cellars and full bodied shiraz revealing a heritage steeped in craftsmanship and taste.

Stawell pulses with energy and history, from the legendary Stawell Gift to the ancient goldfields and the sculpted stones that frame Bunjil's Shelter. Ararat blends past and present, where the Gum San Chinese Heritage Centre and J Ward unfold stories of resilience and Mount Langi Ghiran (Lar-Ne- Gerin) rises over vineyards linking the Grampians and Pyrenees regions. Moyston adds a playful spirit, celebrating the origins of Australian Rules Football, vibrant Easter market and family-owned estates offering wine, wellness and country charm.

Across these six towns, the Central Grampians invites travellers to wander, taste, climb and reflect. It is a region of contrasts and connections, where each stop offers a fragment of story and a sense of awe, leaving visitors with memories that stretch as wide as the horizon itself.
