The Walk - 2.2 kilometres - 2 Hours - Medium/Hard
This walk starts from the Hollow Mountain carpark, about 35 kilometres from Halls Gap.
The dirt track gradually ascends toward the mountains through the dense bush gully. It then becomes steeper and quite rocky, and you will need to look carefully for the arrows pained on the rocks to ensure you are still on the track.
As you wander along, enjoy the beautiful, colourful wildflowers in abundance along the edge of the track. Soon, you will reach the base of Hollow Mountain and see the iron-stained cliffs towering above you.
Continue on the rocky track. This part of the track is steep, and it's quite a strenuous climb over and around boulders and along the exposed cliff edges. There is also one section where you need to climb through a small cavern and clamber up the boulder.
You will then come to the caves, which you can wander through and explore or sit and enjoy the fantastic views.
After seeing the caves continue the rocky uphill track until you reach the summit of Hollow Mountain, where you will be rewarded with stunning views over Mt Stapylton and the Wimmera Plains.
