Things to do this spring

Spring brings new life in nature
It’s all about the birds and the bees – with spring comes new life across Parks Victoria’s landscape.

Mountains of Spring adventure
The warmer spring weather is the perfect excuse to get outdoors and explore mountain peaks. Choose your own adventure by hiking, biking or climbing.

Escape into nature this Spring
There’s no better way to escape the stress of daily life than by immersing yourself in nature. Take a picnic against a stunning backdrop, wander through botanic gardens and capture nature in all its beauty.

Grampians Peaks Trail
The Grampians Peaks Trail (164km) is a world-class 13-day hiking experience from Mt Zero in the north, through Halls Gap and finishing at Dunkeld in the south. It can also be completed in shorter sections.

Wilsons Promontory Lightstation
Perched on a small peninsula jutting out into the wild seas of Bass Strait, the Wilsons Promontory Lighthouse and its historic residences are the southernmost settlement on the Australian mainland. Adding to its remote appeal, the lightstation is only accessible by foot, along the Southern Prom Circuit Hikes.

Great Ocean Walk
The Great Ocean Walk is a one-way, long-distance walk extending just over 110km. This once-in-a-lifetime hike will take you eight days.
