Mount Difficult Range

The Mount Difficult Range, located in Victoria's Grampians National Park, offers a rugged and challenging terrain for experienced hikers. The Plantation Campground, situated on the eastern edge of the range, serves as a convenient base for exploration. This campground provides basic facilities, including fire pits with barbecue plates, picnic tables, non-flush toilets, bush showers, and a seasonal water tank. Notably, dogs are permitted but must be kept on a lead at all times. The area is renowned for its overgrown and unmarked trails, requiring hikers to navigate off-trail. Those who venture through the dense bush are rewarded with stunning views at the lookout. Given the challenging conditions, it's essential to carry a detailed map, compass, and GPS, and to be prepared for a physically demanding hike.
