Spring into the Grampians

Wonder at wild blooms as far as the eye can see, and discover a delicate, rare orchid on a bush ramble. Step into the seldom seen, historic grandeur of a Western District homestead garden, or buy a Grampians native for your own. Savour a memorable meal subtly garnished with petite flowers and pretty petals... It's time to spring into the Grampians.

Grampians wildflower - Tea TreeDubbed the 'Garden of Victoria' in the 19th century, the Grampians region is internationally renowned for its abundant wildflowers, at their peak during spring - when our other botanical treasures, such as open gardens and flower shows, also shine. It's the time of year when this place of stunning natural beauty, with a growing reputation for the good things in life, just gets better and better....

 

What people are saying...

"When we decided to visit the Grampians, a mountain range in western Victoria, we weren't thinking particularly of wildflowers, it was simply a place we had never been.

It was only when we began doing some homework on the area that we kept coming across references to wildflowers in the spring. But it was not until we were actually there that we realised what a wonderful place it is: in the same league as the south-west of Western Australia."
