The road
Ingleton Track takes you into the southern Grampians - the quiet end of one of Victoria's most visited mountain ranges. The 12.5-kilometre track south of Hamilton runs through sandstone country that shares the geology of the main Grampians range but receives almost none of its visitor traffic. The terrain is open forest over folded Devonian sandstone, with the track following ridgelines that give views toward the western range. The difficulty is moderate at Grade 3, making this accessible to most well-prepared stock 4WDs. The southern Grampians have a different quality to the central range around Halls Gap - drier, quieter, and with fewer developed walking tracks. The Royal Mail Hotel in Dunkeld at the base of the southern range has one of the better restaurant gardens in regional Victoria and provides a satisfying contrast between the bush track and a properly set table.

Why this road
The region
The southern Grampians between Hamilton and Dunkeld are the least visited of the Grampians ranges. Most visitors focus on Halls Gap and the central range, leaving the southern end quiet. The Ingleton Track takes you into the sandstone country that makes the Grampians distinctive - folded Devonian sandstone creating vertical cliff faces and the cascading waterfalls visible from the main range roads.
Before you go
Fuel in Hamilton or Dunkeld. Good year-round track in dry conditions. Standard recovery kit appropriate. The southern Grampians can receive significant rainfall in winter - check conditions.
