Cradle Mountain / Overland Track November 2024
A must for anyone looking for a Tasmania adventure.
6 days on the Overland Adventure Walk. Bus trip to Cradle Mt National Park. Rain, wind, clouds, rain gear, up the track we go. Terrible conditions, no Cradle today, the weather gets better, the guide says up Barn bluffs we go. Made it to the top. Wind, cloud, no view, back down we go. Arrive at hut. Take a hot shower, have a good meal, relax, and dry out gear.
Next day, sun, sunburn, sunscreen, wombat, tiger snake, leeches, currawongs, honey eaters, and many more. Mt Oakleigh climb, beautiful view. Mt Ossa climb and Mt Pelion East same day, sore legs, sore feet, beautiful sunny day, who cares keep marching on.
Waterfall, plains, mountains, forest, mud, water. No such thing as a waterproof boot on this track. Finally, a cold swim in the Narcissus River. Brrrr. I'm from Canada and that was cold (but much needed for my sore muscles).
What a great adventure! Excellent guides, Piotr, Ellie and Luke. A must to anyone for a Tasmania adventure.
