Stretching across the rugged Grampians landscape in Victoria, Australia, the GPT Express shuttle service operated by GPWC/AO transforms how you tackle one of the region’s most celebrated hikes. The Redman Road Trailhead pickup at 7:10 AM offers a seamless jumpstart to the journey from Dunkeld up to Mount Zero, enabling walkers to cover the striking Southern Stage of the Grampians Peaks Trail without logistical headaches. This shuttle dissolves traditional constraints: leave your car parked at one end and walk at your own pace without the worry of retracing steps or tight finish times.
The Grampians, or Gariwerd to Indigenous owners, feature sandstone cliffs that rise sharply over ancient valleys carved through 500 million years of geological activity. From fire-scarred eucalypt forests to wildflowers carpeting sheltered gullies in spring, the variety here is remarkable. Wildlife sightings can include wallabies pausing at waterholes and wedge-tailed eagles soaring above cliffs. Highlights along the route include panoramic viewpoints at Mount Abrupt and the sheer rock face of Mount Sturgeon.
