I rise today to inform the House about an event called the Serra Terror that will occur over the forthcoming long weekend in the Grampians National Park. It is an 80-kilometre endurance event that takes place over two days. Teams of either four or up to eight people will walk for 45 kilometres on the first day and do the remaining distance on the second day, up and down dale, through the Grampians. The course changes each year. It is put on by the local community to raise money for the local community. It is a fantastic event. This will be the third year that I will be entering a team—the Wannon Wanderers—and I look forward to participating once again over what is a gruelling course. One of the special things about this year's event is that will be walking along the Grampians trail, which the government has just provided $10 million for, so that people, and especially tourists, can now walk from the northern part of the Grampians to the southern part. The $10 million we announced in the federal budget will finish the trail and mean that we have a wonderful tourist attraction in the wonderful electorate of Wannon.
