Picanniny East Carpark - Pickup 2:55 PM

The GPT Express is a scheduled hiking shuttle service that operates along the full length of the Grampians Peaks Trail, from Dunkeld to Mount Zero. Its schedule is designed to transport hikers from south to north, allowing you to walk the trail comfortably from north to south. For most walkers, the simplest and most convenient approach is to leave your car at the end of your hike and use the GPT Express to reach your starting point on the first day. This eliminates the pressure of completing the trail on a fixed timeline and ensures that your vehicle and any essential supplies are ready and waiting when your hike is complete.

For those walking the Southern Stage, you can book a ticket to start at Jimmy Creek and be picked up at Dunkeld at the end, or leave your car at the finish and take the shuttle back to your preferred starting location. Hikers planning to walk the entire trail have flexible options depending on where they leave their car. You can leave your car in Halls Gap and take the Northern Zone shuttle to reach the trailhead, then return using the Southern Zone ticket. If your car is in Dunkeld, the GPT Express End-to-End ticket provides a single, seamless transfer from Dunkeld to Halls Gap, making it easy and stress-free to complete the full trail.
