GPT Express Shuttle Simplifies Access to the Grampians Peaks Trail

The GPT Express is a scheduled hiking shuttle service designed to support trekkers along the full length of the Grampians Peaks Trail, running between Dunkeld and Mount Zero. Operating on a structured timetable, the service is primarily oriented south-to-north, allowing hikers to comfortably plan a north-to-south walking route with minimal logistical challenges.

A key advantage of the service is its support for flexible trip planning. Many hikers choose to leave their vehicle at their endpoint and use the shuttle to reach their starting trailhead, ensuring that transportation is already arranged when the hike concludes. This approach removes scheduling pressure and allows walkers to focus fully on completing the trail at a comfortable pace.

For those tackling the Southern Stage, the shuttle provides options such as starting at Jimmy Creek and arranging pickup at Dunkeld, or reversing the direction depending on vehicle placement. These arrangements help hikers manage access efficiently across different sections of the trail.

Long-distance hikers completing the full route can select from coordinated transfer options based on their parking location. Whether starting from Halls Gap or Dunkeld, the GPT Express End-to-End service and zonal tickets connect key trailheads and endpoints, ensuring a smooth, well-organized, and stress-free hiking experience across one of Australia’s most scenic long-distance trails.
