Pack Light, Walk Far: Halls Gap’s 20‑L Food‑Drop Service for Unburdened Hiking.
GPT – Food Drops removes one of the oldest backcountry hassles: carting all your food for a multi‑day walk. Bring your own provisions in the provided weather‑sealed 20L containers at the GPT Hiker Hub in Halls Gap and the operator will deliver them to your chosen point on the trail before you arrive; you retrieve the food, leave rubbish for collection, and the team returns later to pick up containers and refuse.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
20‑L sealed, waterproof containers
Each drop uses a 20‑litre, weather‑sealed container provided by the operator—large enough for food for one hiker or a small group and designed to keep your resupply dry until you arrive.
Drop‑off, pick‑up and rubbish disposal included
The service drives out to your chosen location to place your container within the agreed window prior to your arrival, lets you access your food and deposit rubbish, and then collects containers and disposes of refuse after your resupply.
Fast preparation, scheduled delivery
Booking centers on when you visit the GPT Hiker Hub to pack your drops; the operator times deliveries to arrive within the service window ahead of your arrival on the trail.

How the service feels on the ground
The flow is intentionally simple: bring your food to the GPT Hiker Hub, pack it into the supplied 20L weather‑sealed container, and leave your packed drops in the operator’s care until they deliver to the requested trail location. At the drop you retrieve provisions, deposit any rubbish, and continue on your route; the service then returns to collect the containers and clear refuse so you don’t have to carry waste out.

Food is not provided; the drops are for you to pack your own food into the supplied containers.

Yes — drop off and subsequent pickup of containers, plus rubbish disposal, are included in the service.
What does the booking date mean?
The booking date is the date you plan to visit the GPT Hiker Hub in Halls Gap to pack your food drops; it is not the date you require the drop to be placed on the trail.
When is the Hiker Hub open to pack my drops?

How many people can use one container?

What if my container is damaged or tampered with on the trail?
The operator securely stores containers at the Hiker Hub until delivery but cannot guarantee security once containers are placed on the trail and does not take responsibility for damage or tampering; they will endeavour to assist if possible but there may be a cost involved.
