 Join me for a 2 night,3 day, 42km pack carry! Happening Grand final long weekend in the little desert national park. We will be doing a shorter version of the little desert discovery walk. Although flat walking and not difficult, hiking in the sand can be exhausting. The unique sandy landscape, spring wild flowers, salt lakes and some of the best star gazing in Victoria are a welcome reward.

Day 2:Saturday 28th Nov 14km
Day 3: Sunday 29th September 16km. Back to cars early afternoon.

More information will be provided privately to attendees about the exact route and start point on sign up. (If i haven’t hiked with you before please pm me details on your overnight hiking experience.) i will start a whatsapp group for organising communications.

What to Bring:
. Hiking pack and all gear needed to keep you comfortable for 3 days.( it can be cold overnight in desert)
. Camp fire food · breakfast, dinner, lunch and Snacks · Hat and sunscreen · Enough water for the conditions · Consider your layering strategy and need for waterproof or warm clothing. · Quality footwear to suit the hike description. · First Aid Kit – Leader will have a suitable kit, but you should carry a basic first aid kit at all times.
 Transport: Transport to and from the walk location is by car. Little desert is just under 4 hr drive from Melbourne. If you want to Carpool use the “Comments” section or WhatsApp to let the group know if you would like to offer a lift, or if you are seeking a lift. It is important to note that carpooling is NOT part of the official hike and you are organising carpooling in a private capacity, using meetup as a communication tool. Passengers should pay the driver the fair share of costs, if a lift is provided.  Safety and Ambulance Insurance: I strongly recommend that you have Ambulance cover. Some private health insurance offer basic cover but most do not cover airlift, specialist or 4WD track rescue/medical assistance. Please contact your insurer to identify if you have appropriate cover. Ambulance Victoria reasonably priced and being a fully paid member could save you a huge bill https://www.ambulance.vic.gov.au/membership/ The IMPORTANT fine print: Visit https://www.greentrails.com.au/shop ­ for a large range of quality hiking gear and support your meetup owner (they pay to administer this meetup group!) As a participant of this walk, you must READ our WAIVER of Liability & Risk.
