Topographical maps use 1contour
lines,
which join points of equal height to
represent the
relief of the terrain depicted.
144
If the contour lines are close together, the
terrain is steep. Contour lines that are far2
00
apart indicate land with gentle slopes.
It is also worth being 178
aware of the contour
interval, which is the vertical distance
between adjacent contour lines. This
information allows the user to determine
16 0
altitude
at any point on the map.

TRAIL ESSENTIALS
THE INFORMATION BELOW CONTAINS
KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER WHEN YOU
ARE OUT ON THE TRAIL. ADDITIONAL
SAFETY INFORMATION IS PROVIDED
IN THE TRAINING AND PREPARATION
GUIDE AND ON THE WEBSITE.
TRAIL ETIQUETTE
You share the walking trails used for
the event with the general public.
Be considerate of other users at all times.
Always respect the requests of landowners
and land managers. In National Parks, you
must abide by the conditions of park entry.
When on the Warburton Trail, between
Warburton and Mt Evelyn, give way to
bicycles and horses.
MOBILE RECEPTION
Mobile phone reception varies along the
trail and there are some areas of the trail
where mobile phones may not have any
reception. Telstra currently has the best
coverage. To improve your team’s chances
of having mobile reception during training
and the event, we recommend all teams
carry phones connected to at least two
different network providers.
NIGHT WALKING
Walking at night requires special vigilance
on the part of all team members to reduce
the risk of injury. All team members should
carry a torch with extra batteries. Ensure
that your team includes night walking in
your training.
FLASH FLOODING
Certain sections of the trail may be subject
to flash flooding. You should exercise
extreme caution when crossing creeks as
water levels can rise rapidly. You should
not attempt to cross any swollen or rapidly
flowing waterways.
ROAD CROSSINGS
The trail crosses numerous roads
throughout the route and care should
always be taken when crossing or walking
alongside roads during training and the
event. Always use pedestrian lights where
available. During the event, the instructions
provided by our marshals and the signage
at each crossing must be followed to
ensure your safety.
FIRST AID
Each team is required to carry a first aid
kit, including a thermal blanket for each
team member and pressure bandages to
treat injuries such as sprains, blisters,
cuts and snake or spider bites. Snakes are
a real danger on the event trail during the
summer months when you are training.
Left alone and unprovoked, snakes present
little danger, however, should someone be
bitten, you must be aware of the correct
treatment. Team members are encouraged
to learn basic first aid techniques and be
aware of each other’s pre-existing health
concerns or injuries.
HYDRATION
Proper hydration is critical. You can place
your body in serious danger by not drinking
enough water and becoming dehydrated
or by drinking too much water causing
hyponatremia. You need to find the perfect
balance between the two.
Insufficient consumption of fluids can
cause dehydration. Symptoms are only
apparent when you are already dehydrated
and can include tiredness, irritability, tight
or heavy-feeling muscles, headache, and
dry mouth and lips. On the other hand,
hyponatremia — also known as water
intoxication — is an extremely dangerous
condition that can rapidly lead to coma
and may result in death. It occurs when too
much water has been consumed, causing
reduced salt levels in the blood and body
tissues. Symptoms include fatigue, nausea,
headaches and lack of coordination.
To maintain the correct hydration levels and
avoid dehydration or hyponatremia, drink
a combination of electrolytes and water,
and continually monitor your fluid intake.
Drink enough so you don’t feel thirsty and
are urinating at normal periods. If you are
not urinating, or your urine is dark in colour,
you may be dehydrated. If urination becomes
frequent and clear‑coloured, you may be
drinking too much.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
HEAT EXHAUSTION
AND HEATSTROKE
During strenuous activity, the body’s
temperature can rise and result in heat
exhaustion and potentially heatstroke.
Symptoms of heat exhaustion include
severe thirst, muscle weakness, nausea
and headache. Symptoms of heatstroke
can include severe headache, confusion,
irritability, difficulties breathing, elevation
of body temperature and flushed, hot skin.
Heatstroke can be fatal. If a team member
exhibits these symptoms, find a shady
area, administer frequent sips of water,
remove excess clothing and seek medical
help. To prevent heat exhaustion, always
maintain adequate fluid intake.
OVERUSE OF PAIN KILLERS
Take care if using medications during
the event and/or training. Overuse of
pain killers can lead to serious health
complications and hospitalisation.
If you intend using medications of any
kind during the event, seek professional
medical advice.
OUR ENVIRONMENT
Leave nothing but footprints on the trail.
We ask that you make Oxfam Trailwalker
a low-impact event by recycling wherever
possible and discarding your waste during
training and the event in sustainable ways.
Carry out all rubbish and bury your human
waste and toilet paper. Alternatively,
carry out used toilet paper in a snap-lock
bag. A small garden trowel weighs the
same as a muesli bar.
To help Oxfam Australia reduce the event’s
environmental impact, please make every
effort to catch public transport where
available, or carpool to and from the
trail when training.
DURING TRAINING
Training for Oxfam Trailwalker is a necessary
commitment. If you choose to train on the
event trail, you need to ensure that you
and your fellow team‑mates remain safe at
all times. Remember, you’re responsible for
your safety during training, so follow these
tips to stay safe and enjoy yourself.
Before you go:
•Check the Bureau of Meteorology website
for weather conditions, forecasts
and warnings.
•Check the Parks Victoria website at
www.parkweb.vic.gov.au for the latest
information on trail conditions
and track closures.
•Take some friends with you.
Never walk alone.
•Always carry your Event Map Book
and a compass.
•Leave details of your planned route,
estimated completion time, vehicles,
and fellow walkers with a friend, relative
or other reliable person in case you
get lost. This person is responsible for
contacting the police if you are overdue.
•Ensure you pack a torch just in case you
don’t reach your intended destination
before night fall, and that you are
carrying fully charged mobile phones.
During your walk:
•Always carry a first aid kit, including
one thermal blanket per person and
wet weather gear.
•Wear a hat and sunscreen
to avoid sunburn.
•Detour around any snakes.
Never provoke them.
•Stay on the track. Read all
signs carefully.
•Where the trail traverses alongside
a road, don’t walk on the road. Walk
single file on the verge.
•Always take more water than you
think you’ll need and drink frequently.
Don’t drink creek or tank water. Even
apparently pure water can
be contaminated.
If you become lost or require emergency
assistance, remain calm, conserve energy,
seek shelter and wait for assistance once
you have made contact with emergency
services. Do not split up, as doing so may
result in rescuers having to look for
two lost parties. Never leave an injured
person alone.
DURING THE EVENT
During the event, there will be trail
markers along the entire trail route with
unique numbers that relate to specific
locations on the master event map at
the Event Control Centre. If you are lost,
injured or require emergency assistance
during the event, provide the number of
the nearest trail marker to help rescue
crews locate you.
Do not remove trail markers under
any circumstances.
HYPOTHERMIA
The temperature can drop dramatically
during the event and a lack of sufficient
clothing, or getting wet, can cause
hypothermia. Symptoms can include
fatigue, shivering, muscle spasms, clammy
skin, stammering and hallucinations. If
you become hypothermic, change out of
wet clothes immediately, cover your head,
face, neck and body with warm clothing,
consume hot drinks and high-calorie food
to maintain body temperature and seek
medical help. Appropriate clothing should
be carried at all times.

The Finish closes at 10.30am ON sunday
Training notes:
This section has everything! Steep and gradual hills, muddy tracks and difficult
terrain which means that many under-prepared teams have fallen foul of this
difficult last section. Familiarity and good team spirit are key factors in making it
through this final test, so it is important to train on this section at least once. There
is a public bus that travels from the entrance of the finish to the shops in Millgrove.

Oxfam Australia acknowledge the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung as the Traditional
Owners of Melbourne. The practice of Welcome to Country and Acknowledgement
of Country recognises Aboriginal people as the original Custodians of the Land,
and the rights that they hold as traditional custodians. It also recognises the
dispossession of the land and its ongoing effects on Aboriginal peoples today.
Being Welcomed to Country connects people with the land, and provides the
wider community with the opportunity to respect the rights of Aboriginal peoples,
and share in Aboriginal culture and heritage.
