The Cassidy Gap Road shuttle service by GPWC/AO offers a smart solution for hikers tackling the Grampians Peaks Trail (GPT), one of Victoria’s premier long-distance tracks. Stretching between Dunkeld and Mount Zero, this shuttle picks up participants at 2:50 PM, allowing hikers to leave their vehicles at the trail’s end for a stress-free, point-to-point hike. The service is especially designed for those who want to experience either the Southern Stage or the entire GPT without logistical hassles.
The trail itself carves through Victoria Valley, weaving past rugged sandstone cliffs, pockets of ancient eucalypt forests, and sweeping vistas over the Grampians National Park. The area is celebrated for its sharply eroded rock formations and rare flora like the corkwood and mountain cabbage palm. Wildlife sightings often include eastern grey kangaroos and colorful parrots darting through the canopy.
GPWC/AO’s shuttle transforms the hiking experience here by stripping away car shuffle worries. Leaving your car at the end lets you hike at a natural pace, focusing on absorbing the park’s raw character and dramatic views instead of rushing to complete the journey. This flexibility makes it a standout option for both seasoned trekkers and newcomers wanting to experience the Southern Stage, which includes highlights like Guitar Hill and the serene Clematis Creek.
