Venus Baths — Attraction in Grampians

This is a fun spot for kids and adults alike. It is very close to the Halls Gap town centre making it highly accessible but also a lot crowded especially during summer months. There are plenty of small rock pools where you can dip your toes. There are plenty of small fishes who would happily give you fish pedicure for free if you stay still.

Adventure seeking people can try climbing various rock formations around the area. The spot provides plenty of opportunities for the photography enthusiasts as well. Some amazing rock formations provide nice backdrop for the gorgeous selfies.

There are two ways to reach here, both are less than a km in length. The route which goes through Botanical garden is pretty flat and easy walk even for toddlers. It is accessible by pram though at a couple of points, you might need to lift it.

The other route is mostly flat but has a few steps and narrow passages through rock boulders. Both routes join at a small bridge near Venus baths.

There are no toilets at Venus baths. The closest one is in the Halls gap visitor information centre.

We parked at the Botanic Gardens and walked through them to the start of the Venus Baths walk. An easy loop walk along a clear, wide gravel path up to the rock pools. Just before the pools there is a bridge, but no signage. The pools and naturally carved slides can be quite slippery. There was a large school group enjoying the pools the day we went! There are interesting rock formations along the way. We also spotted a couple of wallabies. The path back was much narrower and appeared less used. It exited at the caravan park where again there were no signs, but after some scouting around we found a bridge on the left leading back to the Botanic Gardens. This walk could definitely be improved with a couple of extra signs. There are no public facilities (toilets, water)...
