Things To Do
3 Days in Hamilton: What to See & Do
Your Gateway to the Southern Grampians & Budj Bim World Heritage Landscape
Hamilton sits at the centre of one of Western Victoria's richest touring regions. Base yourself at Lake Hamilton Motor Village & Caravan Park and you are within easy reach of the Southern Grampians, a landscape of extinct volcanoes, spectacular waterfalls and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Budj Bim Cultural Landscape.
Three days is the perfect amount of time to enjoy Hamilton's galleries, gardens and historic streetscapes, take a scenic drive through Dunkeld and Penshurst, and still have time to relax back at the park each evening. Here is a suggested itinerary to help you plan.
