Hello! Could anyone tell me how to get to millennium caves in the Grampians? I did a 4-5 day hike there about 15 years ago, I really want to do it again but can't remember how to get there and haven't been to fortunate enough to find anything useful on google.
Any information (maps, books, directions, websites etc)would be helpful, thanks in advance :)

Goto Buandik campgound, head North-East up the Goat Track.

Turn south after 750m?(guess)

Just be aware that (unless I've missed something) then Millenium, along with the rest of the Vic Ranges, is currently closed due to fire damage.

Hi Pange,
As noted above, pretty much all climbing sites in the Vic Range are closed due to the fires. While some of the climbing sites themselves may not have been badly damaged, the access to there has and varies in degrees. Millennium caves is not at the top of the list as one of the areas to be opened first - and this will be for a variety of reasons be it roads, badly burnt ground requiring regrowth and cultural heritage issues in the area.
Please take advantage of all the climbing sites that are open and available to access.
It will be open in the future - it's not going anywhere.
The first area on the ticklist to be opened will be the Red Rocks and Muline area crags. I will update when areas are opened. http://cliffcare.org.au/

Maybe not the best information to be giving - especially without the information explaining that the area is also currently closed. Regardless of what your personal thoughts may be on closed areas, and I am not presuming anything here, at least providing all the information would be a better option.

Cheers,
Tracey

Thank you all for your help, I understand there has been fire damage and tracks are closed. Will keep an eye out for when they open again :)

Thanks again :)
