- Terrain: Bush tracks, stairs, beach sand, steep & uneven terrain, single file sections, road crossings / sections
- Pace: Brisk walk.
- Fitness Level: A moderate level of fitness is required to complete this trek.
- Experience: You do not need to have previous hiking experience.
- Parking: Participants advised to park vehicles on either Watt Street, Newcastle, or in Bolton Street Secure Carpark which are in close proximity to Trek Registration outside Nihon University (next door to Newcastle Police Station), Church Street Newcastle at 10:30pm.
– ANZAC Day Dawn Service at Nobby’s Beach usually attracts crowds in excess of 50,000 people. Parking within immediate proximity is not possible due to road closures and traffic management. - Expectations: This WILL be difficult but incredibly rewarding. Walking for 4-5 hours, during a time when you’re normally asleep is more challenging than doing the same during the day. Nonetheless we move with purpose. Some portions of the track are only lit by your head torch. It will be cold when we stop but you will warm up when we are moving. Please use layers appropriately. Shops will not be open along the way, so remember your hydration and snacks. We will be stopping 2-3 times for toilet breaks and to refuel our bodies. This will be a challenging and memorable experience.
- BUS DEPARTS 11:00PM SHARP TO TRANSPORT PARTICIPANTS TO REDHEAD BEACH SLSC – TREK START POINT.
It is COMPULSORY to bring a head torch/flashlight, enclosed footwear that’s suitable for hiking the distance, weather proof jacket, snacks, minimum 2L of water and a mobile device.
Some participants will decide to challenge themselves further by trekking with weighted packs and vests, webbing and/or carry torsion bars. We strongly encourage you to read our “Fitness Considerations” section to gain insight if this is an appropriate decision for yourself.
Trek4Vets advise all participants not to drive post the trek and to arrange alternative transport home.
Thank you for your support.
