A full day in the Grampians and this is our first stop to enjoy the view of the Ranges.
Lake Hamilton (Victoria)

Easy

An hour to spare before we leave town so I took the opportunity to investigate the lake. A lovely tranquil walk around the lake enjoying the bird life.
Silverband Falls (Grampians National Park)
19 Nov, 2024
Easy
1.6km return
45 mins
After a picnic at Lake Bellfield we headed out to our first walk in the Grampians. A steady climb up toward the base of the falls was well worth it.
Wannon Falls (Victoria)
18 Nov, 2024
Easy
276m return
15 mins
Ahead of schedule today with time to seek out the local waterfalls around Hamilton. Dry season at the moment so not much water coming over the falls, but a pretty place to stop for a picnic.
Nigretta Falls (Victoria)
18 Nov, 2024
Easy
488m return
15 mins
Second falls of the day and this one was more of an adventure as you could walk out to the top of the falls and rock hop up the river bed to the pools for a swim.
Battery Hill (Victoria)

Easy
1.6km return
1 hr
Sunday morning and the rain has stopped so a chance to get out to Port Fair Bay. A pleasant walk out along the hill and then down and along the breakwall.
Griffiths Island (Victoria)
17 Nov, 2024
Medium
2.9km return
1 hr
The wind was blowing a gale that almost knocked me off the causeway and was continually sandblasted on the way around the island. The Mutton Bird were out at see as they only come ashore at dusk, but was lucky enough to come across a mob of friendly swamp wallabies on the far side of the island.
The Grotto (Port Campbell National Park)

Soldiers Memorial (Victoria)
16 Nov, 2024
Easy
500m return
30 mins
An early morning stroll from our accommodation led me up above the jetty, where there is no boat ramp and boats are launched by crane. And then out to the cliff edge watching the SUP and board riders surf into the inlet on some good waves. Backtrack to the Soldiers Memorial and then on to Prady’s Lookout.

Mt Marlay Lookout & Summit Loop (Darling Downs South West)
13 Jul, 2024
Easy
600m return

An early morning walk with cloud cover meant there were no views. They did lift as I was leaving and provided a stunning view of the town below.

Black Mountain Summit Trail (Australian Capital Territory)
18 Mar, 2024
Medium
5.4km return
2 hrs
This is a leg burner with no ‘reward’. Since the Telstra Tower and Café closed during Covid, now never to be reopened, there is absolutely no view from the top and no reason for anyone to drive to the top let alone hike. Cut the trees back and it could be an awesome 360° vista.
I choose the route up through the Botanic Gardens, which at least provided some interest and a great café for a coffee and a bite to eat when you got back.
Mt Ainslie Lookout (Australian Capital Territory)
17 Mar, 2024
Very Easy
100m return
10 mins
A very misty morning today, so the views were obscured somewhat.
