Hard track
Starting from Mount Abrupt Car Park, Bornes Hill, this walk takes you to Signal Peak in Grampians National Park. You can traverse the forest setting in the first half of the walk and can enjoy the great open vistas of the Southern Grampians and Dunkeld at the second part. It starts off steadily and becomes steeper towards the end of the trail. The area is also prone to stay moist after heavy rainfall. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
