The Great Aussie Hike
About this event
Great Aussie Hike is a team walking challenge set across the stunning trails of the Mornington Peninsula National Park, taking place on Saturday 17 October 2026. The route runs from Gunnamatta to Flinders, taking in a mix of coastal tracks, bushland and lookouts across one of Victoria's most scenic stretches of coastline.
Three team challenge distances are available:
40km – 8 to 11 hours; minimum team of 4; takes in the Two Bays Walking Track, Mornington Peninsula Trail and Highfields
30km – 6 to 9 hours; minimum team of 3; a full day of varied coast, bush and lookout trails
20km – 4 to 6 hours; minimum team of 3; ideal for first-timers or groups after a fun, social day out
All distances are fully supported, with team sizes uncapped so your whole crew can join. Training programs and preparation resources are provided for every distance, and a well-equipped rest stop at the halfway point on the 20km route helps teams make it comfortably to the finish line.
This is a team event at heart – built around mates supporting each other and those in need.
