Operated by GPWC/AO · Halls Gap, Victoria
The Grampians National Park in Victoria, Australia, is a rugged playground known for its dramatic sandstone ridges, steep valleys, and sweeping panoramic views. Central to this outdoor wonderland is the Grampians Peaks Trail (GPT), a 160-kilometer route linking Dunkeld in the south to Mount Zero near Halls Gap. Navigating this extensive trail can be a logistical challenge—enter GPWC/AO’s GPT Express, a hiking shuttle service designed to streamline your journey and elevate the experience.
Operating primarily from Halls Gap, the GPT Express offers a flexible and practical way to cover the trail’s multiple stages without the stress of shuttle hunts or complicated car arrangements. By leaving your vehicle at the trail’s end and catching the shuttle to the start, you gain the freedom to hike southbound at your own pace, fully immersed in the park’s distinctive natural features. Think soaring sandstone cliffs carved by millennia, emblematic eucalypt forests, and pockets of wildflowers unique to the region’s geology.
The shuttle service runs a reliable route from Dunkeld to Mount Zero, ensuring seamless access to the trailhead points that connect less-traveled paths with established campsites. This setup removes the pressure of turning your hike into a race against time and allows for a truly memorable adventure, tailored to your rhythms. The GPT Express isn’t just a shuttle, it’s a vital support thread for bastions of the Grampians, encouraging responsible outdoor travel.
The service is run by GPWC/AO, an operator well-embedded in the local outdoor community, committed to enhancing the hiking experience without compromising the environment. Whether you're tackling day hikes or piecing together the entire GPT route, this shuttle service stands out as a keystone for adventurers eager to engage deeply with one of Australia's most spectacular wilderness corridors.
