Grampians Central Expedition
Highlights
- Explore the rugged beauty of the Grampians on a five-day trek through remote, breathtaking landscapes.
- Camp under a blanket of stars at backcountry sites, enjoying freshly cooked trail meals each evening.
- Conquer the highest peak in Gariwerd, taking in panoramic views from the summit of Mount William.
- Experience guided hikes tailored for all skill levels, led by passionate locals who know the region intimately.
The Central Expedition is a five day, four night journey that tackles some of the most remote, exposed, and inaccessible sections of the GPT, but some of the most rewarding. The Central Grampians features some of the most recognised features in the National Park, including Mount Rosea, Venus Baths, the Grand Canyon, the Pinnacle Walk and Lookout, and Mount William.
You start gently with well trodden trails of Gariwerd and visit some of the most iconic sites in the region. Your first night’s camp is a stunning campsite that eases us into things with all the comforts of an enclosed communal shelter for the evening.
From there, you hike southward and encounter less traffic the further you go. You tackle the longest single ascent in the whole GPT, summit the highest peak in all of Gariwerd and cross the exposed, high elevation Major Mitchel Plateau. From here you camp in backcountry hiker camps, rest, enjoy a freshly cooked trail meal, and sleep under a blanket of stars. No matter your level of hiking experience, their passionate local team will guide and support you through this journey to explore their backyard.
