Mt Difficult South Summit, Grampians, Victoria, Australia
Australian Landscape Photography by Michael Boniwell. All images copyright. This is image is suitable for enormous prints. View Larger on Chockstone Photography Mt Difficult, in the heart of the Grampians National Park, is aptly named. In my youth I'd hike up it with friends and rock climb the exposed cliff faces with the kind of go-all-day vigour that I can only now appreciate. Returning in my 50's, burdened this time by heavy camera gear instead of climbing gear, I found the 18km return hike dreadfully tiring and I like to think I'm still reasonable fit. Seven or eight hours of total walking time through the summer heat, plus an hour or so photographing the sunset, had me safely back at Beehive Falls carpark by head torch around 1am, gulping water with feet on fire and an ache in every muscle. With all that said, I can still very much recommend the walk for the views alone. I saw a water tank at the fairly new Gar campground just down a bit from the summit, but I would not count on this as your only water source. It is untreated, and may or may not have water in it. I took 4 litres, and had 1 litre spare upon my return which is about right for safety, though obviously very heavy. The smarter move might be to break the hike down into two days with a night on top. This would also open up the possibility for exploring the summit leaving your gear at camp. The track up does contain a fair amount of exposed rock surfaces, meaning you should expect sore feet. The navigation is also not that great in places. Parks have put yellow arrows, but it can be easy enough to miss them. I managed to divert onto a disused old trail coming down in the dark, but was able to correct using the GPS on my phone. Lastly, I’ll mention our Australian sun, only because I saw a couple of people red raw from sunburn. One guy was in footy singlet top, no hat, and looked like a boiled lobster. The views are amazing, however, so yes, this is still one of the best walks I've done in the Grampians. Plenty of people on the trail. It has become popular for a reason. I will certainly be back up there again, given the potential for great landscape photography opportunities.
