Brambuk the
National Park and Cultural Centre – Closures during 2025
· Cultural tours, activities and venue hire currently
unavailable.
· Park information centre and gift shop remain
open.
Parks Victoria is working
with a strategic partnership committee of Gariwerd Traditional Owners from
Barengi Gadjin Land Council, Eastern Maar Aboriginal Corporation, and Gunditj
Mirring Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation to ‘reimagine’ the future of
Brambuk the National Park and Cultural Centre.
The reimagining project
aims to renew Traditional Owner management arrangements of the Brambuk precinct
and includes careful consideration of the tourism and visitor experiences,
commercial opportunities, cultural education and training programs that may be
available in the future. As part of this project, there are also building
upgrades and refurbishments that require the Cultural Centre to be closed
during 2024-25. However, the park information centre, gift shop and self-guided
walks remain available.

park information, brochures, maps, permits and access advice contact

The impact of the 2024/2025
summer fires in Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park was widespread. It resulted
in the closure of many popular visitor sites including campgrounds, picnic
areas, a large network of roads and walking tracks (including sections of the
Grampians Peaks Trail).
Parks Victoria is now progressing
with large scale fire recovery works across the park. To complement these, a
staged re-opening of visitor sites is being implemented.
The sites, which have reopened
from April 18, 2025 are:
· Silverband Falls Walk and Silverband Road
· Balconies walk
· Sundial carpark and the walk to the Pinnacle
and Lakeview lookout walk (Sundial Peak remains closed)
· Boroka Track Walk
· Jimmy Creek and Wannon Crossing Campgrounds
· Kalymna Campground and Kalymna Walk
· Griffin Trailhead to Cassidy Gap Rd (Grampians
Peaks Trail) – Walkers can now access this area by either pick up or drop off
at Grampians Tourist Rd. The Griffin Fireline Track remains closed to
vehicles but open to walkers accessing the Grampians Peaks Trail via the
Griffin Trailhead.
