Hi when do you think you will post the videos for the central and southern sections. Walking end to end in Oct and this was great so super keen to see the final instalments
Yeah, it's a good balance between the public huts (the large shelters with the heavy doors) and the small 4 bed hiker huts that are the bookable guided tours. I really like the architecture of them both.
Great video and really helpful with my planning, thank you! I see that there is the option now to skip campsites. In your opinion, which stops can be feasibly skipped? We’re experienced thru hikers 😊
Thanks so much! So glad you liked it. Hmmm, tricky question. I know that a few people skip Bugiga and Wannon, but it makes for a few pretty long days... but being experienced you'll know all about early starts ;-) Def not something to do in warmer weather, when lugging the extra water kilos up/down. Best bet would be to grab the official maps and compare the ascent/descent/kms/terrain with your own experience. Don't forget there's also 'other' campsites off the main route that are options in quite a few places, so with a wee-jiggle of the itinerary you could do something a bit different. Enjoy!
How did you do the photography for this video? I can see some parts where you must have had another person videoing but for most of it, did you use a phone or a GoPro or similar. Keep this good stuff coming. Excellent. Peter S
Aha! Gotcha Peter. I can confirm I shot every single image in this video. I travelled alone (except for the night at the huts) and shot it all on GoPro. ;)
Ah, that's very kind of you to say. I've worked behind the camera for over 20 years and only stepped in front for something I believe in... bushwalking. re: Water tanks - there's lots of ways to treat water. I've got an article on it here: lotsafreshair.com/how-to-treat-drinking-water/ - hope it helps!
hii , i have seen your video testing plumpynut and if you can have some please send me i want to change my muscle i am poor and i am sick my family cant buy for me please do this for me?
Good to see that you're still at it and posting content :)
Glad you liked it!... Even after 11 years... this ol' gal is still at it ;-)
Wow Caro, a very well presented video thank you.
Naw, thanks @joanelsley3984 - so glad you liked it. The next episodes (and some how-to's) should be up in coming week or so.
Thank you for your lovely video - I love the maps, showing of the campsites and the different types of vegetation you go through.
Thanks Kylie. I hope it helps.
This looks gorgeous! I am a new overnight hiker, just did my first overnighter last weekend and I am so keen to do more!
Welcome to the world of overnighters! There's lots of great choices around Aus to be sure. Enjoy.
Great info beautifully presented...aaaand now I want to do this trail! It's definitely on the list, thanks Caro.
Oh, thanks so much @Book0011 it truly is such a special trip. Just wait until you see the next episodes for the Central and Southern sections!
WoW thanks for the nice series of video's on Grampians. just found your channel. Regards Will..
Thanks for watching, glad you like the series.
Hi when do you think you will post the videos for the central and southern sections. Walking end to end in Oct and this was great so super keen to see the final instalments
Definitely before then ;) Let's hope within the next month... there's also 3 other planning videos on logistics, gear and fitness.
Another brilliant video Caro. Thanks for showing us this wonderful through hike
Aw, appreciate it. Thanks so much for your support.
So good! Definitely going to head out there and the northern section looks like the way to start. Thanks for sharing this! 🥾
My pleaure Melinda. Yep, the north is a good taster for sure.
such a beautiful landscape
So beautiful indeed! Almost as good as the Blue Mts, eh?
Looks fantastic & love those huts 🥰

Thanks Caro. Awesome video and very instructive. 👍👍👍
Glad it was helpful! That's the whole purpose of putting it out there - trying to help other people have the best GPT experience that they can.
Stunning video 😍
Naw, thanks so much.
Brilliant - what an awesome walk ❤
It sure is. It has everything in spades!
Awesome!
Glad you think so!
Great info. I'd choose a guided hike as I'm not experienced on my own.
That's one of the things that is great about the way this is set up. You can choose to do it in a way that works for you.

@@LotsaFreshAir Thank you! I bought the new book which arrived this week so I’ll get into the research this weekend :)
How did you do the photography for this video? I can see some parts where you must have had another person videoing but for most of it, did you use a phone or a GoPro or similar. Keep this good stuff coming. Excellent.

@@LotsaFreshAir Thanks for the reply. Well done. I have a cheapie version of Go Pro that I must learn to us. Keep well !
Great vid thx - you are a 'Getaway' level travel presenter. With the water from the tanks, how do you treat it before consumption?
Ah, that's very kind of you to say. I've worked behind the camera for over 20 years and only stepped in front for something I believe in... bushwalking. re: Water tanks - there's lots of ways to treat water.

Prefer spicy, informative journal thanks, almost makes me feel I want to come over the ditch.
Almost. :D
How much water did you end up needing to carry?
I think I had 4+ litres that day.
hii , i have seen your video testing plumpynut and if you can have some please send me i want to change my muscle i am poor and i am sick my family cant buy for me please do this for me?
I don't have plumpynut. this is only available through charities working in your country. please reach out to them. thank you
