Grampians Wildlife Arts Festival
The Grampians Wildlife Arts Festival is a workshop based event for natural history artists to experience and study Australia's unique environment, its plants and inhabitants with unprecedented intimacy.
Based in Hall's Gap, the festival offers 5 days of guided day and night tours of the spectacular arid mountain range that is the Grampians National Park. As well as workshops and lectures on various materials, styles and genres of wildlife art by internationally recognised prize winning artists. Also exclusive after-hours and behind-scenes access to Halls Gap Zoo and its exhibits.
Spring in Halls Gap is a time of orchids, fungi, acacias and a myriad other plants filling the air with sweet earthy perfume. Birds, returning to court and breed, fill the air with sound while all manner of small creatures can be seen or heard scurrying through the forest floor. There are even dragons here but they are shy and the kangaroos, wallabies, emus and possums are easier to find.
