Part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, Cradle Mountain forms the northern end of the Cradle Mountain - Lake St Clair National Park. The area is one of the most popular places for walkers and trekkers visiting Tasmania as it is the starting point for the Overland Track, one of Australia’s most famous walking experiences.

Australia’s most iconic ‘bushwalk’ Whether you’re from the mainland of Australia, further afield or even lucky enough to live in Tasmania, walking this classic Tasmanian trek in the Cradle Mountain National Park is a walking experience every hiker should undertake.

The Overland Track attracts many walkers each year and thanks to the graded trail it is protected from the impact of the many feet that walk it each season. The Overland Track’s graded trail also makes it ideal for first time bushwalkers.

Summer or winter, camping or huts, guided or self guided - with Tasmanian Expeditions you can choose to walk the Overland Track exactly the way you want.
