Looking for a getaway that combines nature, great food, family fun and local charm? This Easter, head to the Grampians – where breathtaking landscapes, exciting events and fantastic local deals are ready to welcome you. It’s also the perfect time to support a region rebuilding after recent bushfires.
From cascading waterfalls and scenic hikes to wildlife encounters, adventure activities and award-winning wineries, the Grampians has something for everyone – just three hours by car from Melbourne. And this Easter, there’s even more to enjoy.
In early 2025, the Grampians region faced its most severe bushfire season since Black Summer. Fires ignited by lightning in December 2024 scorched more than 76,000 hectares. While major fires were contained by February, communities remain in recovery, emphasising the importance of supporting local businesses and tourism.

The Stawell Gift returns from Saturday 19 to Monday 21 April, with record-breaking sprinter Gout Gout set to race. On Good Friday (18 April), the Great Western Rodeo offers a day packed with food, entertainment and edge-of-your-seat action.

Halls Gap Zoo will also be open every day over Easter, with animal encounters ranging from giraffes and red pandas to cheetahs and dingoes.
