Overall rating
  • The route appears pretty infrequently visited as of October 2021. Quite a bit of storm litter and additional rocks washed onto the track to slow the pace down in places. Note: the final ascent to the Fortress (anti-clockwise “spiral” on GPX) isn’t visible anymore, likely due to the large quantity of storm-felled trees and branches. If you’re keen on the last segment, prepare for pushing through brush and clambering etc.

    Spring is the best time, the Grampians have a fabulous array of wildflowers.
