>Overland Track ● AUSTRALIA
The Overland Track in Tasmania is a 65km-long trail that winds
its way through some of Australia’s finest and most varied
scenery. The trail, which most hikers take six days to complete,
starts beside one of Tasmania’s top tourist destinations, the
1,500m-tall Cradle Mountain. From there, it goes south through
rainforest, alpine meadows, swamps, and glacial valleys. The
path also passes a number of dolomite mountains, which more
enthusiastic and energetic trekkers climb as additional side-trips,
before ending at the picturesque Lake St Clair.
Inexperienced hikers are advised to tackle the track in the
summer, but since this is peak holiday time, you will have to
book in advance and pay a fee. From June through September,
hiking the trail is free but also more difficult due to poorer
weather conditions and shorter days.
Situated off Australia’s south coast, Tasmania is home to a vast, rugged
wildness best explored on foot.
