The Overland Track from Waldheim near Cradle Mountain to Lake St. Clair is, for very good reasons, the most popular extended walk in Australia. Walkers, from all over the country and overseas, are attracted to this magnificent area to experience the grandeur of its mountain ranges, the beauty of its unique vegetation and the pure solitude of wilderness. This seventy kilometer (forty four mile) walk can normally be completed in five days, but Tasmanian Expeditions allow eight so as to best appreciate the points of special interest along the way.

Your schedule will permit time to visit the summit of some of the highest mountains in the State, possibly even Mount Ossa, the highest of all.

Since Tasmanian Expeditions groups are restricted to a maximum of ten people, a real sense of group identity develops, making this wilderness experience one that you know will be truly memorable.

The Cradle Mountain 8-Day hike includes camping, cooking andeating equipment, high quality tents, backpack, sleeping mat, sleeping bag and sleeping sheet, emergency communication equipment, first aid supplies, all meals and transfers, food drops along track to lighten pack weight and National Park fees.

No special skills are necessary to walk the Cradle Mountain Overland Track although a good level of general fitness is required.
