In addition, enjoy a number of water activities, including canoeing, swimming, fishing and boating at some of the pristine waterways in the wonderful region.

To enjoy the panoramas that the wetlands and the hill ranges boast, take a tour to the Balconies lookout in the Grampians. Nestled on the stony landscape of the Grampians National Park, the Balconies Lookout is one of the best scenic viewing platforms in the region.

Enjoy the views of the setting sun behind the splendid hill ranges at the peak of the Balconies Lookout. The lookout is also known as the jaws of death, as its structure resembles the huge jaws of a T-Rex dinosaur.

While visiting the Balconies lookout, don’t forget to bring your camera to capture the best panorama in the Grampians region.
