Keys
A few locked gates will be encountered along the Trail and some bike riders negotiate these by lifting their bikes and gear over them. However, if you intend to travel with all you gear you may wish to hire a key. There is one toilet and one campsite that are accessible only by having a key.
The one key unlocks all the Trail locks along the Trail.
A decision needs to be made well in advance if you need to obtain a key as it will need to be posted to you prior to commencing your trek. An Australian address is preferable.
Keys are made available to members. The hire fee is $100 and is refunded when the key is returned less an administrative fee of $20. You can include the key fee when completing a membership application (click here) or pay for the key separately if you are already a member (click here).
