touring Victoria

Hi John,
Unfortunately I don't drive when dark befallen the land.
But what's the road really like especially between Halls Gap and Dunnkeld through the National Park.
Regards

Sang,

That is a part best done in daylight for the kangaroos at dusk or after dark. The scenery is superb up the main road, the right fork after Dunkeld rather than the Victoria Valley Road. Not that I would'nt drive it but it is a slightly lower grade road and worthy of a side trip without the van.

From Halls Gap I would avoid taking the van on the Mt Victory road although many do (it's twisty and steeper). It has many beauty spots and can be visited from Halls Gap. It is a lovely area and many surprise lookouts. Do plenty of side trips and roads marked as gravel.

If you go soon there will be plenty of wildflowers too, many indiginous to just the Grampians area. I hope you and your party can do some walks too while you are there.

Happy tripping

Steve, we are well thanks, just hope that you and Denise are too. Have had my toes trodden on before mate. I would never admit to doing the same myself........

Was pleased you had a great trip earlier. Heather and I went to WA and got home last Monday week. True to form like to meet Forum members and met with Melissa for a quick meal and Doug up the mid North Coast. Was really good as I have previously expressed to meet up, especially with Melisssa and her contributions on the forum and her site too.

Thank you all for your advice.
I'll be travellingfrom Ararat to Halls Gap via Moyston and Pomonal. Stop at Halls Gap for a few days to do any side trip. Then down to Dunkeld thru the National Park. Once again stopping at Dunkeld for a few days and side trip. Does this sound OK for my Troopy and van setup ?
Thanks again

Sang,

as Eric says below it will be a bit of a slow trip with your Troopy and there is a bit of a trap behind caravans. There should be plenty to interest you no what your interest. If you like wine there is the wine areas near Great Western and Ararat in the Pyrenees, the Royal Mail Hotel in Dunkeld great for meals.

The South Australian wine areas a couple of hours west of the Grampians. Your earlier suggestion on the Great Ocean Road too has plenty to offer even west of the Ocean Road at Warrnambool and Port Fairy. I hope you will enjoy it Sang.
