Farmland and Thunderclouds (Grampians NP, Victoria, Australia)
It’s pretty civilized with ‘touring’ routes that take you through bushland, up the sandstone escapement and through picturesque farmland. There is also great range of accommodation and amenities making it a great location for a long weekend from Melbourne.
