COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on our lifestyles – we’re staying in (and we implore you to, as well). Life has changed. Drastically. While it’s not permanent, it’s a big shift, and we’re all feeling it. While you’re doing the right thing (spatial and social distancing + self isolating), we’re updating you with what you need to know about all the things you love. How you can still eat, drink, consume, watch and buy the things that bring you joy. How you can continue to support Australian businesses, artists, creators, makers and more. How you can stay amused, active, educated and entertained at home. How we can all stay connected to the things that make us us.
The Halls Gap Lakeside Tourist Park has partnered with local attractions including Halls Gap Zoo, Halls Gap Hotel and the Grampians National Park to bring the beauty of the region to homes across Australia. The FREE Grampians Virtual Holiday game, hosted by the Grampians Treasure Hunts app, encourages discovery through a range of engaging activities and puzzles that will give kids hours of educational fun.
The Grampians Virtual Holiday has been adapted from the GPS-based Grampians Treasure Hunt app designed by the Halls Gap Lakeside Tourist Park that encouraged families to get out and about within the national park while visiting the region. The new virtual tour allows the same sense of discovery and joy to families at home who are unable to experience the regions many wonders at present.

All activities are designed to engage families with the region while travel restrictions are in place. The Grampians Virtual Holiday contains hours of Grampians fun for the whole family, without leaving the safety of your own home.
