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:

Cradle Mountain - Lake St Clair National Park, Tasmania
April 2011
搖籃山 (CRADLE MT) 是世界聞名的塔斯馬尼亞世界自然遺蹟保護區之一,位於聖嘉利湖國家公園內。搖籃山是前往塔斯馬尼亞的遊客的必游之地。這裡的高山起伏不平,而且常有冰川溶化,水流入低地成為湖泊。湖光山色美不勝收。團友可以沿著多芬湖(DOVE LAKE)漫步一週(大概需要2小時)享受多芬湖的洗禮,欣賞多芬湖 潭面無風鏡未磨寧靜似畫的美景,體會完全融入大自然從而進入了忘我的境界。秀麗的搖籃山安閑地倒影在平靜的多芬湖面,清涼的小溪輕快地穿過翠綠的山林,蒼勁的古樹安靜地佇立在清澈見底的湖邊, 唯有偶爾傳來幾聲清脆的鳥叫蟲鳴,才使人猛醒不是身處畫圖中......

Backcountry Skiing Tasmania: High Camp on Cradle Mountain (August 2019)
Aiming for a narrow weather window, Shaun and I headed to Cradle Mountain for an overnight jaunt, hoping that the northern chutes (visible from the Dove Lake carpark) would be in good condition.
They weren't. And the weather window was far narrower than we had anticipated. Nevertheless, we made camp just below the summit and witnessed a truly spectacular sunrise, followed by a couple of short runs down the east face.The glorious weather turned to not-so-glorious weather by mid-morning so we skied down most of the regular ascent track, skinned back across Cradle Plateau and skied the chute off Marion's Lookout until the vegetation-to-snow ratio got a bit too ridiculous.
