A gentle historic walk for the whole family. Settlers Walk consists of a 2 kilometre walking trail which also doubles as a cycling trail. There are two footbridges that connect the different parts of the walk. The Settlers Cottage is a fascinating stopover where you can spend a few minutes admiring the antiquities and picturing life as it was when the settlers first came to the Grampians.

MacKenzie Falls is an awesome river experience if you are up for the steep walk down there and back up. The lower falls area is the quietest and the river can be accessed there, although I'm not sure if swimming is recommended. You could check out this link.
