You will need your own camping equipment and carry our own food and cook for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

The Overland Track from Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair is a true wilderness walk which travels through spectacular dolerite mountains, near beautiful waterfalls.

Through a variety of fascinating ecosystems and close to Tasmania's highest mountain, before finishing at Australia's deepest lake, Lake St Clair.

The stunning scenery and the physical challenges of this mountain walk have ensured that the Overland Track has built a national and international reputation as one of the great wilderness bush walks.

(You can make it easier by not doing some of the side trips which can be steep climbs) Watch the essentials video here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mok_CKKlQE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mok_CKKlQE&fbclid=IwAR0p_NI5qQG174k7dRIO83AX_FBegfENXAHDLDeEc0eshQ8VtM7w6vZgUpg) Watch the official video here: [http://youtu.be/gHBIK_D96XE](http://youtu.be/gHBIK_D96XE?fbclid=IwAR0VrgA-T0FS6947YCh83QC5BmvTrOkGfYPYk6sHZVW3LikDxlKbl2M7WEA)
