Apollo Bay to the Twelve Apostles

Together with our extension to include the Twelve Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge, Auswalk is offering the very best way to experience this region. The setting is the Great Otway National Park, Victoria’s newest park and the largest coastal park in the state. The breathtaking coastal scenery, remote terrain, magnificent forests, abundant wildlife and colourful heathlands will ensure that this new walk will quickly become an iconic walk both within Australia and internationally.

Highlights include the spectacular limestone sea-stacks known as the Twelve Apostles, groves of Manna Gums inhabited by koalas, pretty spring-fed Rainbow Falls cascading to the sea platforms below and deserted beaches featuring some of the highest sea-cliffs in Australia.

Wildlife abounds too. The animals you might spot on the walk range from kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas and koalas to sea eagles, wedge-tailed eagles, whales and dolphins.

About the Grampians
The Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park found in Western Victoria covers an area of 167,000 hectares, about 100km long by 50km wide. The
Grampians are famous for their rugged sandstone ranges, waterfalls,wildflowers and Aboriginal rock art sites. Grampians scenery is very
spectacular and provides a typical Australian bush experience.The Grampians sandstone ranges took shape millions of years ago when
sandy sediments were tilted, uplifted and then worn away to form the
parallel north-south ranges we see today. They are the South Western tail
of the Great Dividing Range.
The Aboriginal presence in the area dates back over 5000 years and
contains the majority of Koori rock art sites in South-Eastern Australia. The
Aboriginal name for the region is Gariwerd and the park name was
changed to include this Aboriginal name in 1991.
In 1836 the explorer Major Thomas Mitchell discovered the area and
named them after a Scottish mountain range.
The Grampians became Victoria's largest national park in 1984. The park
contains around 100 different species of native flora, of which at least 23
are unique to the area. Koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas, emus,
goannas, possums (including the rare sugar-glider) and
nearly 200 species of birds can be found in the park.
Halls Gap, at the heart of the Grampians National Park, is
situated 260km from Melbourne and 540km from Adelaide. There are
160km of walking trails in the park
