About The Balconies
The Balconies, formerly known as the Jaws of Death, is a striking sandstone rock formation in the northern Grampians that extends over a steep cliff edge like a natural balcony or set of overhanging jaws. The walk to the formation passes through open eucalypt woodland with panoramic views over the Victoria Valley. It is one of the most photographed geological features in the Grampians.
