Grampians 國家公園位於澳洲維多利亞州,在墨爾本西邊235公里處,從墨爾本開車到Halls Gap只要三個多小時.這Grampians山脈南北縱貫,西邊主要是砂岩,形成的緩坡,東邊是沉積岩風化以後形成陡峭的山脊.這裡有斷堐,峽谷,瀑布,湖泊,奇石.景色極美,因此被列為澳洲自然遺產,每年吸引大批遊客到此賞景,登山,攀岩.這裡同時也有許多古代原住民留下來的石頭壁畫,也是聊解原住民文化很重要的地區.我們第一次拜訪這裡時在此停留三天,因為這裡剛被森林大火肆虐,所以只能玩北段的MT,Difficult, Hollow Mountain, Mackenzie Falls.但這已足夠讓我們愛上她.後來我們再度拜訪這個國家公園,在Halls Gap住了五天,把北中南三區的出名的登山步道走遍,走越多越喜歡她,這是少數我們以後可能再度拜訪的自然奇觀 之一.
Wonderland的幾條步道最熱門.Mackenzie瀑布很美, Mt Difficult有些難度但很有趣.Hollow Mountain很奇特好玩, Chimney Pot雄偉的巨石是我們的最愛.
但是要注意:這裡夏天很熱爬山易中暑,所以想玩這裡最好避開夏天.還有這裡有許多袋鼠開車要特別小心, Eric曾有兩次擦撞袋鼠的經驗.
The Grampians National Park (also Gariwerd) is a national park
in Victoria
, Australia
, 235 kilometers west of Melbourne
. The Park was listed on the Australian National Heritage List
on 15 December 2006 for its outstanding natural beauty and is one of the richest indigenous rock art sites in south-eastern Australia.
The general form that the ranges take is, from the west, a series of low-angled sandstone ridges running roughly north-south. The eastern sides of the ridges, where the sedimentary layers have faulted, are steep and spectacular, beyond the vertical in places - notably at Hollow Mountain near Dadswell's Bridge at the northern end of the ranges. The most popular walking area for day-trippers is the Wonderland area near Halls Gap
. In summer the ranges can get very hot and dry. Winter and spring are the best times for walking. The Wonderland area also hosts to "The Grand Canyon" on the "Wonderland Loop" on one of the tracks to the "Pinnacle". The highest peak is Mount William
at 1167 meters. Numerous waterfalls are found in the park and are easily accessible via a well-developed road network.
