Near Grampians National Park
Budj Bim 105 km

Sovereign Hill 136 km
An open-air museum in Ballarat that recreates the town's first ten years after gold was found there in 1851. Costumed people work the shops and smithies along its main street, and visitors can pan for gold in the creek.

Twelve Apostles 169 km
Limestone stacks standing in the surf off Port Campbell National Park, carved from the cliffs by the Southern Ocean. There were never really twelve, and the waves keep wearing them down, but at sunset from the clifftop lookout they glow orange.
