The Overland Track runs from Waldheim near Cradle Mountain to Lake St. It's clear, for very good reasons, the most popular extended walk in Australia. Hikers, from all corners of the country and abroad, are drawn to this stunning region and experience the splendor of its mountain ranges, the beauty of its unique vegetation, and the sheer solitude of the wilderness. This seventy kilometer (forty four mile) walk can normally be completed in five days, but for the seven of us, to better appreciate the special points of interest along the way.
