The Sisters Rocks Fred Flintstone would love this place. The rocks are an assortment of huge boulders found in bushland alongside the Western Highway, between Great Western and Stawell in Victoria. The granite boulders take their name from three sisters named Levi. They made temporary camp at the rocks which became known as the home of the three young sisters. Pioneering settlers of the gold rush era. As said, Fred Flintstone would feel right at home in this extraordinary location, where the landscape is dotted with an impressive array of massive rocks that resemble the iconic boulders of his animated world. These unique geological formations, known as the Sisters Rocks, are nestled within the picturesque bushland that lines the Western Highway, creating a striking contrast against the backdrop of the Australian countryside. The name of these granite boulders pays homage to the three sisters, Levi, who once sought refuge in this very spot, turning it into a temporary shelter that eventually became synonymous with their presence. As the Sisters Rocks stand as silent witnesses to the passage of time, they also hold a significant historical connection to the pioneering settlers of the gold rush era in Victoria. These resilient individuals, driven by the promise of prosperity and adventure, traversed the rugged terrain in search of fortune, leaving behind a legacy that is etched in the very fabric of the land. Despite the valuable granite resource that these rocks offered, they remained untouched during the early days of settlement, residing on private land that shielded them from the tools of local stonemasons. Today, the Sisters Rocks serve as a reminder of a bygone era, a testament to the enduring spirit of exploration and resilience that defined the early settlers of this region. Visitors can marvel at the sheer size and beauty of these natural wonders, reflecting on the stories of the past that are etched into their ancient surfaces. Just like Fred Flintstone, anyone who sets foot in this place is sure to be captivated by the timeless allure of the Sisters Rocks.

Bunjil As depicted in Australian aboriginal mythology. An ancestral being or deity. Often imagined as a wedge-tailed eagle which is common to Australia. Drive to Bunjil Shelter off Bunjil Cave Road. A twenty-five minute drive from Halls Gap. Outside of the Grampians National Park in the Black Range. Sealed roads lead to the site. Bunjil Rock Art Shelter The artwork depicting Bunjil, the creator of land and water, along with two dingos, holds a profound cultural significance in the landscape of Gariwerd, also known as the Grampians in southern Australia. The large outcrop of rock, where the artwork is situated, not only showcases a representation of Bunjil and the dingos but also features a distinctive upper body animal shape that adds to its mystical aura. This site serves as a powerful reminder of the deep connection between the Indigenous peoples of the region and the land they inhabit. The intricate details of the artwork symbolize the rich cultural heritage and spiritual beliefs of the traditional custodians of the land, highlighting their reverence for nature and the stories passed down through generations. As visitors engage with this artwork, they are invited to reflect on the enduring traditions and wisdom of the Indigenous communities that have nurtured and protected this sacred site for centuries. Rock Art Pranksters The rock art found in this area has long been shrouded in mystery and intrigue, with rumours circulating that it was the handiwork of mischievous pranksters dating back to as early as 1910. However, upon closer examination and expert analysis, these claims have been debunked, revealing a much more ancient origin that speaks to the rich cultural heritage of the region. Over the years, this invaluable piece of history has faced numerous threats, including vandalism by individuals who sought to deface the artwork with lead paint. Fortunately, efforts were made to restore and preserve the rock art, with specialists successfully removing the damaging substances to reveal the true beauty and significance of the ancient depictions. To safeguard this precious cultural treasure from further harm, a protective wire cage has been installed around the rock art site, serving as a physical barrier against potential vandals and ensuring that future generations can continue to marvel at this remarkable piece of history. The presence of this protective structure not only preserves the integrity of the artwork but also symbolizes the collective commitment to honouring and cherishing our shared cultural heritage for years to come. There is a short-unmade walking track of about two hundred metres winding to the top of the hill and around down to the shelter and meanders back to the carpark mostly on flat ground. It's common to be the only visitor to the site.

Located within the Grampians National Park. Victoria. Roses Gap Road is a fully sealed road connected to the Western Highway and Wartook. Provides access to Beehive Falls. These are usually just a trickle of water in the warmer months. Troopers Creek bush camp sites and The Wander Inn, Wartook are nearby by car. The more direct route to Halls Gap is a relatively flat gravel road of 20 km plus. Bushfires have raged in the area as can be seen from a few roadside fire affected signs that were never replaced. The bushland generally recovers within one or two years of a fire burning through the area. In the summer months the national park can get high temperatures and in turn this will dry out the underlying scrub. Roses Gap Road, once known as the 'Old Adelaide Road,' holds a significant historical value as it served as a vital route connecting different regions. This road, steeped in history, winds its way through picturesque landscapes, offering glimpses of towering cliffs that majestically rise from the surrounding bushland. The sight of these impressive cliffs, just a few kilometres off the road, adds a sense of grandeur and awe to the journey for travellers passing through. As one navigates along the current road, the presence of these natural formations serves as a reminder of the rugged beauty and geological wonders that characterise the area.

Wind Farms Driving country roads in Victoria around the canola fields. During the spring months of September and October. There are longer hours of daylight, warmer days, green hills, wind farms and their spinning blades high above fields of canola crops. Blades up to 90 metres in length and heights of towers to 150 metres. Apparently wind farms generated about twenty percent of Victoria's electricity in 2023. Forty wind farms are completed with about another forty proposed as of 2024. Exploring the picturesque country roads of Victoria during the vibrant spring months of September and October is a truly enchanting experience. As you meander through the rolling landscapes, you are greeted by vast expanses of mesmerizing canola fields stretching as far as the eye can see. The lush green hills serve as a perfect backdrop to the golden sea of canola flowers, creating a stunning contrast that is a feast for the senses. One of the most captivating aspects of this journey is the longer hours of daylight, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the beauty of the surroundings. The warm spring days bring a sense of rejuvenation and vitality, breathing life into the countryside. Along the way, you may also encounter majestic wind farms, with their towering turbines gracefully spinning in the breeze high above the canola crops. Each turn in the road unveils a new panorama of natural splendour, with the vibrant colors and textures of the landscape painting a picture of tranquillity and serenity. The symphony of sights and sounds, from the gentle rustling of the canola flowers to the distant hum of the wind turbines, creates a harmonious melody that lulls you into a state of peaceful contemplation. Wimmera Canola Crops In the picturesque Wimmera region, vast expanses of paddocks are meticulously cultivated with the vibrant hues of canola plants, creating a stunning mosaic of green and yellow that captivates the eye before the imminent harvest. As the seasons progress, the transformation of the canola crops unfolds in a mesmerizing display of nature's cycle. The once vivid green and yellow canola fields gradually transition as the pods mature, turning a rich shade of brown, signalling the optimal time for the next stage of harvesting. In a carefully orchestrated process, the canola is windrowed, a method where the plants are cut and left to dry before being picked up by a combine harvester. This crucial step ensures that the crop is harvested at peak ripeness, guaranteeing the best quality seeds for processing. The harvested canola seeds are then transported to processing facilities where they undergo extraction to obtain the valuable edible oil contained within. Spring canola, reaching a height of approximately 1.2 meters or four feet, thrives in the fertile soils of the region, contributing to the agricultural tapestry of Western Victoria. The Wimmera region, located two hundred and fifty kilometres west of Melbourne, emerges as a hub of canola cultivation, with many fields sown with this versatile crop in anticipation of the spring season. The cultivation of canola not only adds to the visual splendour of the landscape but also plays a vital role in the local economy, showcasing the agricultural prowess of the region.

Mackenzie Falls The waterfall is the largest falls in the Grampians National Park Victoria. The falls are about a thirty minute drive from Halls Gap along a good, sealed road.

The falls are approximately thirty-five metres from base to top and flow year round. The water flow is much greater in the cooler months enabling better scenic views. Mackenzie Falls from carpark to base of falls is a steep descent walk of 570 metres via 260 steps. Mackenzie Falls Lookout The walk is an easy 860 metres to a viewing platform opposite and above the falls. No steps. Viewing Safety It is crucial to emphasize the importance of adhering to safety guidelines and regulations when visiting natural landmarks such as Mackenzie Falls. The tragic events that occurred at the falls base, with four drownings on Christmas Day in 2004 and another in 2018, serve as a stark reminder of the potential dangers associated with disregarding such warnings. These incidents underscore the need for visitors to exercise caution and respect the rules in place to protect both themselves and others. By heeding these precautions and being mindful of the inherent risks posed by water bodies, individuals can ensure a safe and enjoyable experience while appreciating the beauty of Mackenzie Falls.

Could spend an hour or so wandering about and taking in the desert landscape. Elevated views. Green bushes and red dirt. A drive on a well made sealed road loops in and around inside the sanctuary. Very interesting. The roads within the sanctuary are meticulously sealed, ensuring smooth and convenient access for visitors.
