Places to visit in Dunkeld

When you are in Dunkeld you of course want to go to the Grampians. It is one of Australia’s finest National Parks. You can spot days and days there to spot wildlife, look at the flora and fauna and go for adventurous hikes. A hike down the Picaninny Walk will give you a peaceful view of the mountains that seem to guard the peace of the entire community.

If there are ever places that God loved more, then you would say Dunkeld was a favourite. Nature has gifted it with panoramic Grampian sceneries that have remained unaltered for over 400 million years. You can still see the waterfalls cascading over the rock shelves and form a mist right at the town’s door step. You can still feel the lichen-encrusted stones and valley floors as you hike the trails to its mountains.

When you head south and into the Victoria Valley, you can see a huge plantation of wool, which happens to be producing one of the finest quality wools in the world.
