These rugged mountain ranges are an hour North of the Great Ocean Road. The little town of Dunkeld sits at the southern end and is overlooked by Mt Sturgeon. There was a dog friendly walk through the arboretum which was next to a peaceful little caravan park.
Halls Gap is a small tourist town in the heart of the Grampians and the start of several walking trails. Although dogs are allowed in the caravan park, the trails are all within the National Park. Jonathan hiked up to the Pinnacle and I did some shorter walks. We had a couple of hot days and thought at last the weather had turned but were told it was very unusual for this time of year and the temperature would be dropping again.
