Article History

Grampians, mountain range extending southwest from the Great Dividing Range, southwest central Victoria, Australia. Composed mainly of hard sandstone, they are noted for deep gorges, fantastic weathered rock formations, and wildflowers. The highest peak, Mt. William, rises to 3,827 ft (1,166 m). Visited in 1836 by Maj. Sir Thomas Mitchell, surveyor general of New South Wales, the range was named after The Grampians of Scotland.
