The hike is a bit challenging but the views from the top are incredible. According to a recent guest: "Halls Gap is a lovely and very friendly little town. The BBQ dinner on the second evening was a nice touch to the trip." Watch for kangaroos and emus near your accommodation around sunset when they often come out.
