All About
Mount William (Duwul)
Highlights
Walking trail: 3.5km return
Mount William (Duwul), the highest point in The Grampians, is a must-do Aussie Bucket List hike in country Victoria. Climb to the highest point in The Grampians, Mount William (Duwul), where stunted eucalyptus give way to 360-degree views of jagged mountain ranges and open plains. Make the trek just before sunset or sunrise and see the landscape saturated in beautiful colours.
Rising to 1167 metres in height, Mount William is the Grampians' tallest peak. You can drive almost all of the way to the top of the mountain, before parking your car and walking the rest of the way. It's a steep climb on a sealed road with fantastic views most of the way to the top.
You'll notice the effect of altitude on the type of vegetation as you climb the mountain. Tall eucalyptus trees on the lower slopes give way first to dwarfed trees and then to low, windswept bushes and grasses.
Visit on a crisp winter's day and you may see snow covering the stunted vegetation of the sub-alpine landscape.
From the Mt William carpark, follow the steep climb to the highest point in the Grampians, Mount William (Duwul).
