Dunkeld - Pickup 7:45 AM

The GPT Express is a scheduled hiking shuttle service that runs the full length of the Grampians Peaks Trail, from Dunkeld to Mount Zero. Its timetable is designed to move hikers from south to north, allowing you to walk the trail comfortably from north to south. For most hikers, the simplest and most convenient approach is to leave your car at the end of your walk and use the GPT Express to reach your starting point on the first day. This eliminates the pressure of finishing the trail on a strict timeline and ensures that your vehicle and any supplies you may need 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 ride the shuttle back to your chosen starting point. Hikers completing the full trail have flexible options depending on car location. You can leave your car in Halls Gap and take the Northern Zone shuttle to reach the trailhead, then return with the Southern Zone ticket at the end. 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 entire trail.
