The Aboriginal Cultural Centre is a must-visit as you can learn about the local indigenous people and see a short film in the Gariwerd theatre, where you will hear the story of the creator spirit Bunjil. There is a gift shop, cafe and information can be obtained from National Park. The Cultural Centre building is closed for upgrades from 2022 to 2024.
Be the only tourist to climb the peak. Medium difficulty, some mountaineering experience required for climbing the viewing spot. On the way there, spot wallabies, lizards and more animals and hear the cycads chirp.
Lunch and dinner, beer garden and lounge, and takeaway liquor sales.
Has a bistro and restaurant, which has won a number of awards.
A very well-designed, purpose-build hostel inside Grampians National Park. Designed with ecological sustainability in mind, it has features such as solar heating and recycling of shower water to flush toilets. The careful design has extended even to the vegetation plantings. The kitchen is well-equipped with utensils such as knife sharpeners, rice cookers and bread makers (bread-making ingredients are available for purchase). Fresh eggs are available for free from the hen-house. Has 4-bed dorms with lockers and private rooms. Prices may be a bit higher than most hostels but the standard of facilities, cleanliness and service deserve the extra couple of dollars.
Small hostel. Extremely friendly, excellent value. Watch the kangaroos feeding on the nearby cricket grounds.
