The Overland Track is Australia's premier multi-day alpine hike and probably the country's most popular. It's a 65km+ trek through Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, which sits in pristine Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. You traverse ancient landscapes: valleys formed from long lost glaciers; rainforests from the Pangaea period; peety buttongrass moors and towering eucalypt forests. There’s no phone reception, few manmade structures and little evidence of the life I’d come to escape.
