What are the Grampian Mountains?

There are two significant mountain ranges known as the Grampians.

In 1836, explorer of Australia Major Thomas Mitchell discovered and named a range he called the Grampians, in western Victoria. These mountains from the very southern and western end of the Great Dividing Range, which travels down the entire east coast of Australia.
