Hi
Grampians looking reasonable at the moment and recovering from fire. Good
camping spot is in the middle at Boreang, good facilities and reasonably quite usually though you might get a bit of school holiday traffic. If you stick to the dirt roads it frightens most of the people away.
Halls Gap will be crowded.
Not sure if the 4wd roads will be open, they are usually closed until Oct, check with
Park Victoria in Horsham or
Halls gap, people on the phone service usually have no idea. if Open, a good track is to go in off the Horsham road at Buandik and over the Gaot track then down the Victoria Range Rd. good $WD track but not for camper trailers.
A lot of the track are still closed after the fires, may never open?
Plent of good walks at this time of year. One of the best IMHO is from Buandik to a big
cave. Its not signposted but starts just before the Buandik
camping ground, heading about due east into the bush. After about 200 m a good track will be obvious, just follow it for a couple of k's. Bit rough but good cos no crowds. Now don't tell anyone I told you!!
Most of the aboriginal shelters are no longer marked on new maps. If you can get hold of the North and South
Grampians Map sheets that will show you where to go.
Anotehr good spot is Hollow Mountain at the north end of the
Grampians,
camping spot ordinary but good walks. If you go in here you can drive down past the
old quarry near Roses gap where the stone for Parliment house was obtained.
In my experience, the PV people don't encourage people to go off the bitumen too far and keep everyone together in a couple of
camping spots. Any camps accessed off bitumen willl be very busy for the next 2 weeks.
Have fun
