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 which unlocks all of the Trail locks.

Please note that there is one toilet and one campsite that are only accessible with a Trail key. These are noted in the guidebook.

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. Please allow three weeks for the key to arrive.

Keys are made available to members only. 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).
