HIKING | The Overland Track - Tasmania, Australia | Part 1/2
*** TRAIL STARTS AT 3:47 ***
The Overland Track is arguably Australia's most famous hiking track. Situated in the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, Tasmania; the track runs for 65 kilometres from Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair. You can also hike along Lake St Clair bringing the total length to 82 kilometres, and increasing the duration by a day or two.
The track winds through terrain ranging from sheer mountains, temperate rain forest, wild rivers and alpine plains all in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. The track can be hiked year round, but must be booked at least 24 hours in advance between October 1 - May 31. During this time of the year, you can only hike the track North to South (Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair). Outside of these dates, you can hike the track in either direction, and you do not need to book. No matter the time of the year, you are required to have a current National Parks Pass.
The track generally takes 6-7 days to complete, and there are side trips along the way. Danya and I hiked the track in April and booked it months in advance as it does fill up quickly. Our personal favourite side trip was exploring Pine Valley. You could spend several days in this area alone. It can even be accessed from Lake St Clair without doing the rest of the track, as it's technically not part of the Overland Track.
Even in the wet, windy, and cold conditions we were met with, this hike was absolutely amazing and couldn't recommend it enough to anyone. If you would like more useful information or to book the track, check out the Parks and Wildlife Tasmania web page:
You can also find out more about the history of the track from the Wikipedia page:

As seen on Getaway - The Overland Track holds a legendary status as one of the finest bushwalks in Australia. We hike from the dolerite crags of Cradle Mountain to the rainforest-clad shores of Lake St. Clair, savouring a complete adventure experience. This is an unforgettable trek through the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. Each step will lead to new discoveries and some of mother nature's finest creations. Rest by a cool mountain stream, admire the view of a glassy lake reflecting the surrounding peaks or investigate the delicate cushion plants thriving amongst alpine extremes. Waterfalls, dolerite mountains, lakes, tarns and diverse ecosystems unfold along the way. This itinerary is designed to travel at a relaxed pace allowing us to best appreciate highlights and side trips. This graded trail is suitable for first time bushwalkers, our food drops and modern lightweight equipment will keep your backpacks relatively light and experienced guides will help to bring the track alive for you with their local knowledge & enthusiasm for the Tasmanian wilderness.

Cradle Mountain Huts Overland Track Walk on Getaway 2012
Livinia Nixon enjoys nothing more than a holiday that presents beautiful scenery and some challenges as well.
She didn't have to travel far to fulfil both wishes. A flight to Launceston and heading two-and-a-half hours west to the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park and it was all there.
She joined a Cradle Mountain Huts Walk. The entire Overland Track is 65 kilometres long and is done over six days. It winds through spectacular terrain, ranging from sheer mountains, temperate rainforest, wild rivers and alpine plains, all in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area.
It has a well-deserved national and international reputation as one of the great wilderness bushwalks.
