What a view! Look over towards the cultivated land. These are olive plantations. Mt Zero is the small peak on its own with a trig point on top. You have walked almost 7.5kms so far!
You may also see some small birds of prey circling the summit. These are Australian Kestrels, also known as Nankeen Kestrels, in reference to their yellowish colour. (Falco cenchroides). At 30 – 35 cm in length, these one of our smaller raptors. Their backs and wings mostly rufous, with some dark streaking.

If want to go further to summit itself, you must follow the red arrows beyond this. Do not continue to the summit if you are not comfortable with rock scrambling or heights. However, there is a great cave just around the corner to the right which is a great spot for lunch. Even if you do not go to the summit, this is a worthwhile place to visit. However, do not continue if it is rainy and the rocks are wet. Some of the next section can be slippery and dangerous in such conditions. The red arrow path loops around to the right. If you are continuing, leave your poles at viewpoint and use your hands as required. You will come back the same way.

The MacKenzie Falls are one of Victoria`s largest and most spectacular waterfalls. They always carry water, regardless of the season, because they are fed by the Wartook Reservoir that provides the water supply for Horsham and the Wimmera wheat fields in the north of the Grampians. After rain, the falls are even more spectacular, with torrents of water cascading over the huge cliffs into the deep pool below.

Note that this is a very popular driving tour destination in The Grampians so be prepared for crowds. It is very much worth a visit though. Fantastic views to the south from Reeds Lookout. The large body of water you see is the Moora Moora Reservoir. To the east (your L), the jagged escarpment of the Mt Difficult Range (southern section), beyond which lies Lake Bellfield and Hall’s Gap.

Venus Baths is a very attractive series of small circular pools and slabs of smooth rock with water flowing across.

There are toilets and picnic tables here (but no drinking water is available).

The summit area near the Pinnacle is an ideal place for lunch, with excellent views and shady rocks for shelter. From the lookout you will be able to see a lot of the route you have walked over since the start of the trip.

There is a sundial here, installed by one of the local schools many years ago. See if you can work out the time. The highest peak you can see on the R is Mt Rosea on the Serra Range, with landslide funnels coming off it. You can also see Mt William straight ahead with the towers on top.

On the summit of Mt Rosea: You are now at 1009m asl (above sea level). This is the highest point you’ve been to on this trip. You can see most of the route you’ve walked over the last few days from up here. Look at the metal “compass” circle in the middle of the seat to help you identify the various peaks and other features. If you look down over the edge of the handrail you can still see evidence of the landslides that wreaked havoc here in 2011.

This is a great place to have your lunch and hang out. You are looking out over one of the largest volcanic areas in Australia where volcanoes once dotted the whole valley, including Mount Napier to the west near Hamilton. The last known eruption was only 5000 years ago in Mount Gambier.
