Highlights of the Grampians Peaks Trail - 8 day walks (Activity Full - waitlist started)
The Grampians Peaks Trail (GPT) is a relatively new track located in Victoria’s Grampians National Park which is part of the Gariwerd Aboriginal cultural landscape. The trail, which stretches over 160km from north to south, winds its way over challenging peaks and rugged escarpments, passing unusual geological formations, caves and hollows. It traverses five distinct mountain ranges including the Mt Difficult, Mt William and Serra Ranges., In this trip, we’ll base ourselves in Halls Gap in a shared cottage or, for those who prefer, in the local caravan or holiday park. We’ll spend seven days exploring some of the areas considered highlights of the GPT, with walks in the north, central and southern sections of the Grampians. The walks will range from 13 to 19km in length, with climbs ranging from 400-1,200m and descents of up to 1,360m on some walks. These walks would be suitable for CBC members who are comfortable with medium/hard walks involving climbs and steep descents, are comfortable on rugged tracks and have a good head for heights. In expressing your interest in joining this walk, please indicate your capacity to take part in daily car shuffles to and from walks, and your preferences for shared accommodation in the cottages or camping. Group members who are camping will need to make their own arrangements with the local holiday park.
