The Wonderland area hosts the most visitors to the Park, as it is close to Halls Gap, the major service centre around the National Park. It is situated in the Fyans Valley between the Mt William and Serra Ranges.
With its higher rainfall and dramatic cliffs, there are areas of very tall timber, sheer rock slopes and wonderful fern gullies. Most of the major tourist icons are along the road between Halls Gap and Wartook.
Halls Gap sits adjacent the Wonderland area of the Grampians. Named after CB Hall one of the original settlers in the area, Halls Gap was the original Grampians Holiday destination and houses the Brambuk Aboriginal Cultural Centre and National Park Information Centre. In the 1860's the Fyans Valley became the source of water for Stawell. Much of the early timber industry was based near Halls Gap.
