Gariwerd (Aboriginal name for Grampians) is pivotal to many ancient stories by Aboriginal communities in South-Western Victoria.
The region has the largest number of rock art sites in Southern Australia and over 80% of Victoria’s rock art sites. Visitors are invited to experience six of these cultural sites for themselves.
