What to bring
- A small backpack to carry the items you need on the trail (e.g. snacks, water, protective layers and personal items)
- Wet weather gear in case of rain - a lightweight waterproof jacket with a hood is recommended
- A large water bottle or bladder (two-to-four litres recommended)
- Sturdy waterproof hiking boots with mid-to-high ankle support are recommended due to the uneven terrain; to avoid blisters, boots should be comfortable and worn in
- Comfortable, layered hiking clothing – we recommend long loose-fitting clothing for sun and wind protection and to shield your legs and arms from stray branches
- Light long hiking pants or shorts (quick-dry zip-off leg pants are ideal) and light wicking or cotton shirts, preferably long-sleeved
- Gaiters are recommended
- Walking poles if you prefer to use them
- Change of clothes and lightweight shoes/sandals for evenings at the camps
- Suitable warm layers, gloves, scarf and beanie or woollen hat for cool evenings and early mornings (particularly the Mt Sonder Summit Walk at sunrise)
- Sleepwear, spare socks and underwear
- Sun protection, including a peaked or brimmed hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses (you will be exposed to the sun for the majority of your walking time)
- Prescription glasses and/or any medication you may require (including an EPI pen)
- Personal toiletries in small containers, including insect repellent
- Your camera and/or mobile phone, chargers, a small torch, and spare batteries
- Bank card (or preferred device) for purchasing personal items and incidentals
Important
For operational reasons and transport ease between camps, luggage must be kept to one soft duffle bag or large backpack per person - solid suitcases and extra large duffle bags are unsuitable. Please advise your Journey Designer if you require excess luggage storage.
