In this episode, we continue our travels in our converted Ford transit campervan, with our dog, Twyla. As we make our way back from Adelaide, our last stop is Halls Gap in Victoria. It’s great to see Australian tourism picking up with many people traveling around Australia in caravans, campervans, RVs, and camping in tents.

Halls Gap is a village in Victoria, Australia. It’s a gateway to Grampians National Park, known for its sandstone mountains, wildflowers and wildlife including echidnas and wallabies. Park trails lead to waterfalls like towering MacKenzie Falls and slender Silverband Falls. The Balconies lookout offers views of the Victoria Range, while Boroka Lookout is perched above Fyans Valley, with glimpses of Lake Bellfield.
We stayed at Breeze Holiday Parks - Halls Gap. There’s a large range of cabins suited to both families and couples and an abundance of camping and caravanning sites that provide gorgeous views of the national park setting. You may even get up close and personal with some native wildlife in the park! We booked a powered site for our stay. From Breeze Holiday Park we could easily walk to town and do so many activities without even hopping into our van to go to them.
The first morning we walked the Venus Baths walk. The walking tracks and trails of Halls Gap are undeniably the main highlights of the saw-toothed Grampians mountain range. There are so many popular tracks within the Grampians National Park crossing the beautiful forests, mountain streams, and spectacular waterfalls, so get ready to grab your detailed map, hiking footwear, plenty of water and warm clothing if you’re seeking adrenaline within the Grampians.
We checked out Paper Scissors Rock Brewery Co, which is an independent craft brewery located in the town center of Halls Gap, with a kitchen and regular live music and events.
Beer is brewed fresh on site.
Then we eat lunch at Flame Brothers Restaurant & Bar is located in the heart of Halls Gap. The restaurant provides a multitude of offerings, with something for everyone. Flame Brothers offers a unique dining experience, offering an offset Texas-style bbq smoker.
The next morning I took a stroll through the beautifully decorated Halls Gap Botanic Gardens, learnt about the native plants of the area, and browsed the huge array of unique art installations scattered among the trees. The Halls Gap Botanic Gardens are a must-see, particularly if you are visiting with children - they will love the adorable sculptures, the gigantic nest (complete with a ladder to climb in), the boardwalk, and the many information signs throughout the garden.
