Just a short stroll from our centrally located Caravan Park, you will find Brambuk the national Park & Cultural Centre.  This centre is open 9am – 5pm daily.  The centre provides visitors with Aboriginal history and all the information that you would ever need to know to explore our National Park.  Take the time to dine in the unique Brambuk Bush Tucker Café and relax and take in the spectacular views from amazing decking.

While you are there pop down to the red roofed Cultural Centre and view the award winning Gariwerd Dreaming Theatre.  The Gariwerd Dreaming Theatre is a two part film running for approximately 45minutes.  There is a small charge to see this, but trust us, it is well worth it.  You will be treated to a 15 minute sound and light show of an Aboriginal Creation Story and an informative film on the Grampians National Park.  This is a great start to your visit.

By now your brain will be clogged with information.  We suggest that you take the time and take a short stroll to one of the National Parks Favorite Places, Venus Baths. 

This 2.3km circuit starts across the road from the swimming pool.  Follow the track and cross the suspension bridge over Stony Creek to the Botanic Gardens.  The track winds along the creek and past some towing sandstone cliffs.  The delightful Venus Baths rock pools are just beyond a footbridge.  Return to our Caravan Park & Halls Gap by crossing over the footbridge and follow the track on the opposite side of the creek.
