Central Expedition Traverses Remote Heart of the Grampians Peaks Trail
A demanding five-day, four-night trekking expedition has been launched across the central section of the Grampians Peaks Trail, offering hikers an immersive journey through some of the region’s most remote and exposed landscapes. Beginning in Halls Gap, the route passes well-known landmarks including Venus Baths, the Grand Canyon, and the Pinnacle before moving into isolated backcountry terrain.
The expedition challenges participants with long ascents, including the most sustained climb on the trail and a summit of the highest peak in Gariwerd. Hikers also cross the exposed Major Mitchell Plateau, navigating rugged ridgelines and open terrain while camping under the stars in remote, minimally sheltered sites.
A structured daily itinerary supports the journey, starting with a briefing and gear check at the Halls Gap Hiker Hub before progressing to Stoney Creek Hiker Camp. The route continues over Mount Rosea, Mount William, and Durd Durd, before concluding at Jimmy Creek Trailhead, followed by a return transfer to Halls Gap for rest and celebration.
The expedition includes experienced local guides, supported camping, trail meals, transfers, and group safety equipment. Exclusions cover personal gear, insurance, town-based meals, and accommodation outside the trail period, making this a fully guided but self-prepared adventure designed for committed long-distance hikers.

Customer Reviews
I thoroughly enjoyed my visit here. I went on a weekday and it wasn't too busy, I could take my time and enjoy the experience. There is so much to read and learn, and an impressive display of interactive screens and quirky ways to learn. More of an interactive experience rather than a traditional museum, but very enjoyable. Not something to be done in a rush, and I don't think I would bring children. Getting your own little passport to stamp as you go through each area is a lovely touch. If you have a few hours to pass in Dublin it is well worth a visit. There are lots of lovely cafés right outside the museum within the building.
I found the museum very beautiful, very educational, and interesting. There’s actually a lot — really, a lot — to read and to take in on your own. I mean, of course, it’s a museum, that’s clear. But I don’t know — I’ve been to other museums that offer more of a mix, where you also get things explained to you, can watch things, or even touch and interact with exhibits. Just something a bit more than only reading. That said, the museum is absolutely beautiful. It’s incredibly interesting, very clean and well-maintained, and definitely worth a visit. It just doesn’t quite get five stars from me — it’s not the ultimate highlight — but it’s definitely something you should do when you’re in Dublin. I really love the idea to Collect the Stamps for your EPIC-Passport. :-)
