Day 4 - Mortlake to Dunkeld

About this page

Tuesday 2 December, 85kms

Power up undulating hills, freewheel down the other side. Look out over dairy country. Turn north, there they are – the Grampians rise up in front. Beautiful. Pitch a tent at the foot of the Grampians National Park – or check into the historic Art Deco hotel? Take a stroll, admire the ever-changing colours of the rocks.
