Perched high above the valley, Boroka Lookout offers one of the most spectacular and easily accessible viewpoints in Grampians National Park. Just minutes from the village of Halls Gap, this scenic lookout rewards visitors with sweeping panoramic views across the Halls Gap valley, the rugged Mount William Range, and the farmland plains stretching east toward the horizon.
Reaching the lookout is easy and suitable for most visitors.

The path is well-formed and accessible, making Boroka Lookout a great option for visitors with limited mobility.

Birdlife is equally impressive, with sightings of wedge-tailed eagles, emus and the elusive lyrebird often delighting visitors.
Located around 3.5 hours (291 km) from Melbourne, Victoria, Boroka Lookout is a must-visit stop when exploring the Grampians. Whether you visit at sunrise, sunset, or during the day, the sweeping landscapes and peaceful bush setting make it one of the most memorable viewpoints in the region.
