Booking instructions

Quantity: From the panel above, set the quantity to 1 for each drop location that you require. Do you want 2 containers at the same drop location? Leave this quantity as 1 and add additional containers in the next booking stage under 'extras'.

Preferred date: This is the date that you plan to visit our GPT Hiker Hub in Halls Gap to pack your food drops. (if you're not planning to come through Halls Gap before you start your walk contact us for alternative arrangements. This is NOT the date you require the drop to be placed on the trail!

Preferred time: Please select the closest likely time that you will bring your food into our GPT Hiker Hub in Halls Gap to pack your food drops. The Hiker Hub is open from 9 am until 5 pm, 7 days a week, excluding some public holidays.

Number of people: For food drops, the number of people is irrelevant to us! Each container can hold 20L, so however much you can fit in will work whether it's food for 1 person or 3 people. If you're hiking with a bigger group, simply add extra containers in the 'extras' stage of booking.

Container security

We securely store your containers in our Hiker Hub until it is time to deliver them. Once delivered to the location, we have no way of guaranteeing their security and do not take any responsibility for damage or tampering with containers. If your container is damaged, missing or has been tampered with, while we cannot take responsibility for this, we will endeavour to assist if we can although there may be a cost involved. Note: to date, this has not been a problem.

Further information including GPS locations of food drops is provided in a PDF, attached to your booking confirmation email.

Pricing

Food drop pricing includes our service to drive out and drop your containers within 24-36 hours prior to your arrival at the location. You can access your drop, retrieve your food, deposit any rubbish required and we then collect all of the drops and dispose of any rubbish left behind.
