Grampians National Park lies in western Victoria, Australia, about 260 km west of Melbourne. The Jardwadjali name for the range is Gariwerd, and the park covers 167,000 hectares of sandstone ranges. It became a national park in 1984 and was added to the National Heritage List in 2006 for its natural beauty and as one of the richest Aboriginal rock art sites in south-eastern Australia, holding about 90 percent of Victoria's rock art. The town of Halls Gap sits at its heart. From lookouts you see grey sandstone crags stacked like giant teeth above green valleys, with farmland and lakes on the horizon. Waterfalls tumble over stepped rocks in the valleys, gum trees and yellow wildflowers bloom in spring, and kangaroos graze the meadows around the town. The Pinnacle lookout is about 3 km from Halls Gap in a straight line. There are many walking trails here, of varying length and difficulty.
