Hike summary
Start this 2-3 day hike from either Tarra Bulga National Park or Morwell National Park and make your way along the Grand Strzelecki Track stopping overnight at the Jumbuk Rest Area. Though well marked, some areas have minimal infrastructure, so a level of fitness and experience is required.
While many parts of the Grand Strzelecki Track are graded easy to medium, other parts are challenging and require a degree of fitness and experience. Overall, the Track is Class 4 under the Australian Standard which means that some parts are narrow foot track with minimal infrastructure provided, requiring self-sufficiency, navigation skills (although it is generally well marked) and responsibility for your own safety.
Camping
The facilities at the Jumbuk Rest Area are now completed and the area is ready for use as an overnight stop.
