Overland Track

I have just spent the most extraordinary 6 days on the Overland Track. I came to this walk with no preconceptions. I come away with a whole new perspective on our amazing country. You don’t need to travel far to experience some of the natural wonders of this world.
This has been one of the most extraordinary experiences of my life:
Our first experience of the native fauna – a wombat grazing at Ronny Creek, the start of the track
The first section took us across button grass moorland
Then we headed up to Crater Falls

Then we tackled the steepest part of the Overland up to Marion’s Lookout
It rained gently while we were up on Marion's lookout
Some of the track is on boardwalk to protect the native vegetation
And that vegetation is quite extraordinary – like this cushion plant – one step on that would kill it
Sunset on day 1. I looked across at that ragged peak and was pleased that I wouldn’t be going anywhere near that…2 days later I was standing on top of it!
Sunrise on day 3
The summit of Mount Oakleigh – the peak I was looking at on day 1

Just a quick nip off the track on day 4 and we were at a creek junction
Looking up to Mount Ossa from Mount Doris where we had lunch
FINISHED!
