The Grampians region is approximately three hours from Melbourne. Follow the Western Freeway through Ballarat to Ararat and from there choose between the Ararat Pomonal Road west towards Halls Gap or continue on the Western Highway to Stawell and Horsham. If coming from Ballarat, you can follow the Glenelg Highway to Dunkeld and Hamilton.

The popular Great Southern Touring Route passes through the Grampians region. This self-driven tour takes in some of the best scenery and attractions that Victoria has to offer, following the Great Ocean Road, passing by the Shipwreck Coast, and winding up into the Grampians, before continuing to Ballarat.

The Grampians are also enroute for tourers travelling between Adelaide and Melbourne. Take in the world heritage Naracoorte Caves in South Australia, then cross the border into Victoria to Little Desert, the Grampians and Mt Arapiles.
