WITH the recent opening of the Grampians Peaks Trail, a steady influx of eager bushwalkers have made their way to the area to enjoy the experience, but a local tourism operator believes more can be done to promote the destination.

Dunkeld Caravan Park caretaker, Erin Hinchliffe said they had an “excellent Christmas and New Year period” and were getting “a lot more independent hikers staying in the region”, which was pleasing, but there were additional things that could be done to draw even greater numbers of tourists.
