Camping Among the Stars – The Fortress, Grampians National Park (Victoria)

A mountain range as old as Dreamtime itself, the camping grounds at the Fortress are the first stop on the 4.3 km long Harrop Track. Situated in the Grampians National Park, rocky plateau overlooks the spectacular mountains rising from the sea of eucalyptus forests. Since the weather in Victoria is mild both day and night, all you will need to gaze at the starry sky is a sleeping bag. As an added bonus, the park is rich in Aboriginal history, and the wall paintings at Gulgurn Manja are a must-see.
