venus baths @ halls gap, the grampians

Mamma absolutely LOVES taking the kiddies here! Venus Baths is a series of river rock pools filled with cool fresh water to splash about in, making it the perfect destination on a warm day! There are some serious walks up in the Grampians region but this is the most kid friendly and pram suitable walks you will find.

Enjoyable even in the colder months, a short, easy trek from the centre of Halls Gap at Stony Creek follows the creek up, though to the Botanic Gardens and along a gravel trail to meet the rock pools. This is a beautiful and picturesque walk amongst the rock formations that Mamma will be sure to come back to. Kid loved rock climbing on the way and following the river up stream for even more rock hopping beyond the main visiting area.

And what a satisfying quest for little legs!

the nitty gritty

Mamma’s special mention: For a more adventurous challenge, head to The Pinnacle. Or, if you would like to see the view from the top without the tricky trek, go to The Balconies for an easy walk to breathtaking sights.
