  • Do you have any day tours or tours from Halls Gap to Hollow Mountain? I would even consider a private tour company. I’ve always wanted to see it and rely on public transport or tour companies. I can walk longer distances than most people so if there was a bus within a reasonable distance of it, that would be ok. I’m thinking of staying in Halls Gap for my birthday in January.
    Thank you

    • Hi Metta,

      I am not aware of any walking/hiking tours that take visitors to Hollow Mountan, so self guided tours are the only way to get up there.

      Here are the details obtained from Parks Victoria about the walk:
      Hollow Mountain – Distance: 2.2km return – Time: 1-1 ½ hours – Grade: Medium-Hard
      Start: Hollow Mountain Carpark. Follow the sign posted track through native pines and eucalypts to the base of the iron stained cliff. After a steep climb through fallen boulders and exposed ledges a short uphill scramble will lead you to the rocky summit. Enjoy views over Mt Stapylton and the Wimmera Plains.

      Hope this helps
