Overland Track!!!

The Overland track is one of Tasmania's, and by extension, Australias most famous bush walks. The overland track is a hike through the Cradle-Mountain Lake St Claire National Park, and will normally take around 7 days to complete.


There are several huts along the track, and the track itself has been developed with several of the muddiest sections being covered by a boardwalk. There are also the options for both inexperienced and experienced walkers, with a totally guided and hot meal provided tour of the walk, or camping grounds and side tracks such as Tasmania's highest peak, Mt Ossa (which you can camp on top of!!!)



The track is heavily used, and has therefore had a limit placed on it. Only a certain amount of people can be walking the track at one time during peak, and around 8000 people will walk the track in a year.



The Overland track is one of Australias most beautiful walks, with the countryside carved out by glacier through the last ice age.


Cheers, Tom
