Is this walk accessible for me?
This walk is accessible by foot, wheelchair or other mobility aid.
What can I see?
The walk takes you between a bushy wetland and Fyans Creek to the Grampians National Park Information Centre and Brambuk Cultural Centre. There are kangaroos, emus and other birds to see.
How accessible is the path?
This is a peaceful bushland setting. The path surfaces include asphalt, boardwalk, and compacted gravel. They are generally smooth, firm and gently undulating. There are direction and map signs with distances. Interpretive signs around the garden section describe features of the area.
The path is wide enough for travel side-by-side, turns and passing. Edges are clear of the creek and wetland. A slightly uneven garden boardwalk over wetland has buffered edging, but no safety rails.
The bush setting means trees and shrubs have occasional low branches, scattered leaves and twigs. No steps are encountered. After rain there is some gravel softening, not enough to limit wheelchair access.
Shorter alternative walks are available, such as around the Information Centre Garden. The car park is the only pick up point. Mobile phone cover may not be reliable.
A plan for renovating the Cultural Centre is noted (building and surrounds are not being maintained at present).
Rest areas
The path is well shaded by many trees. Built shade is available at the Information Centre.
Seating is limited to benches around the building. The temporarily closed café seating is stacked away from public use. Food and drink services are available in nearby Halls Gap.
Roll under outdoor picnic tables are provided near the car park (not all have accessible paths).
Carry your own water. Please take your rubbish with you.
There is an accessible toilet. See photo for details.
Dogs are not permitted in the National Park.
Parking
There is room to pick up, drop off or park. Accessible spaces are in upper and lower car parks either side of the Information Centre. The best location from which to access the wetland loop is the lower car park with 3 wide accessible spaces on a sealed surface beside the walk.
The nearest ramp through the kerb to the walk is a few meters up the minor slope of the car park. Watch for entering traffic.
