At 100 miles long (160km), the Grampians area encompasses a number of towns across its western, southern, eastern and northern regions, but when it comes to choosing the best base for your next breeze through the Grampians, Halls Gap, at the heart of it all, is the obvious choice.
Is Halls Gap worth visiting?
