For hiking friends, it's a great hiking route, a workout and a delightful view.
About 250 kilometers from downtown Melbourne, Mount Granping is one of the most famous tourist hotspots in the country's national park.
Gran Ping Mountain is famous for its steep mountains and strange rocks, and the rock walls here are more mysterious because of the year-round wind and frost impact of Rain Water. Going to the mountain top scenic spot overlooking the rich valley at the foot of the foot, the excellent view of the visitors can also be more relaxed.
In addition to the alpine boulders, another major feature of the Granping National Park is that it has more than 3,000 species of characteristic vegetation in the plateau area, as well as a variety of wild animals that travel here, like a large ecological park. Biology enthusiasts are sure to have a lot to gain from coming here.
The picture above shows the best tour route for the Grand screen National Park.
The easiest and most reasonable way for friends to drive from Melbourne to the park is to first go to the foot of the Glendon Hill, a rural town called Halls Gap, after a three-hour trek. It is also a wise choice to come here for a short stop to rest and to replenish your physical fitness.
When you are ready, you can follow the route shown in the diagram and head westward to Mackenzie Falls and then drive north to the famous Lake Wartook, terminal!
First stop: Halls Gap
At the foot of the hill, Halls Gap is a quiet town where many of your friends choose to take a break, go to a restaurant in the town, or have a picnic in the park.

Second stop,: Boroka Lookout.
After a short rest in the town, you can drive to the second stop, that is, the hilltop scenic spot Boroka Lookout, stands high to see far away. Standing here is enough to give people a feeling that "they will be at the top of the mountain and take a look at the mountains." It's absolutely amazing. Brave enough friends can also try to sit on the rocks and ask their peers to take some classic photos of themselves for half a year on Time line.
Third stop,: Reed Lookout and Balconies.
If you want to get a better view, Reed Lookout and Balconies, which holds the highest point of view in the Gran Ping Mountains, is a big spot to pass by and don't miss it. However, the editor thinks that people with fear of heights can just stand in the distance and take a look at the scenery. Don't try the game of the brave, because it is so frightening.
Stop four,: Mackenzie Falls.
There is a mountain must have water, appreciate the strange rocks and rocks, it is better to go to the waterfall to rest for a moment. Listen to the sound of the water, into the nature, that feeling is not worthy of our yearning? If the weather is good that day, you can even have a chance to see the rainbow spectacle first-hand!
Stop five,: Lake Wartook.
Not far north from Mackenzie Falls, you will be able to reach the end point of the tour route, Lake Wartook.. The clear and blue surface of the lake makes the heart as flat as water, the blue sky and white clouds clearly reflected on the lake surface, as if giving a kind of illusion of being in the Wonderland.
Other places to play

If you love hiking, you can also consider abandoning your car for a ride near Wonderland Carpark on the map of the The Pinnacle (Hotline, just south of the town of Halls Gap).
