Western Victoria, from the end of the Great Ocean Road to the border of South Australia, is a flat, agricultural landscape with many small towns, both on the coast and in the interior. Like islands, 2 important national parks lie in this somewhat monotonous landscape, the Grampians, an ancient mountain range covered with forests (shown above), and the Lower Glenelg National Park, which shows how the landscape might have looked like before it was settled. Another interesting spot is Cape Bridgewater, near Portland, with a fascinating petrified forest.
