Steeped in the history of European settlement in Victoria, the Southern Grampians region presents an amazing array of choices to the visitor.

Ideally located between Melbourne and Adelaide, Southern Grampians is well positioned with the Grampians National Park to the north, the Shipwreck Coast to the south and the world-renowned Coonawarra wine region to the west.

The region is serviced by major highways, a regular, daily air service to and from Melbourne and daily coach services.

With a landscape dominated by the spectacular Grampians mountain range, ancient volcanoes, tranquil rivers & waterfalls and undulating pastoral land dotted with majestic red gums, the Southern Grampians spans the heart of Victoria’s renowned ‘Western District’.
