Introduction: (00:00 - 00:45)
Day 1 - Ronny Creek to Lake Rodway: (00:45 - 06:54)
Early pick up in Launceston to the start of the Track at Ronny Creek, Cradle Mountain NP.
Rain coming down heavy, Cradle Mountain could only be seen in the fog.
Lunch at the historic Kitchen Hut, a quick chance to hide from the rain before climbing a high ridge and our 500m descent to Scott Kilvert hut, steep and slippery, water regularly gushing over the pathways.
With a broken shoe lace and soaked through wet weather gear we were happy to be nice and warm.
Day 2 - Lake Rodway to Windermere via Lake Will: (06:54 - 18:39)
Woke up to wet weather and fog putting on our wet gear still dripping. Made 500m elevation ascent from Scott Kilvert Hut to Cradle Mountain Plateau, seeing the Cradle Mountain Peak through low clouds.
Plans to summit Barn Bluff cancelled due to bad weather for safety. We headed down to the old Waterfall Valley Hut (which is around 100 years old). The weather cleared and Barn Bluff could be seen along with 3 Bennett’s Wallabies , afterwards to Lake Will our first side trip.
The views started to open up on our journey to the Windermere hut, set by the beautiful lake Windermere.
Day 3 - Windermere to Pelion: (18:39 - 31:11)
Starting with a beautiful walk through swampy button grass fields. The weather was perfect, the mountains in our foreground even more spectacular than the ones behind.
Making our way down to Frog Flats the lowest point of the trail, admiring the towering peak of Mt Pelion West.
The Pelion Hut is like a big country homestead taking in views of Mt Oakleigh rising up above.
We took a trip to the Old Pelion Hut, an old miners hut from over 100 years ago and witnessed an amazing sunset .
Day 4 - Pelion to Kia Ora via Mt Ossa: (31:11 - 43:04)
Biggest day on the Overland track!
A couple of hours climbing through forest and Douglas Creek Falls we arrived at the Pelion Gap, where we began to climb Tasmania’s highest mountain Mt Ossa 1,617m.
After hours hiking/scrambling we reached the peak and the reward was all in the view!
Making our way down to the Kia Ora hut we witnessed another amazing sunset .
Day 5 - Kia Ora to Windy Ridge: (43:04 - 55:16)
A day of rainforests and waterfalls.
Starting off with a hike to the old Du Cane Hut from over 100 years ago. We saw/heard up to 30 yellow tailed black cockatoo’s, then made our way down to Dalton Falls with lunch at Fergusson Falls.
Our final waterfall for the day Hartnett Falls was the largest and most impressive of all 3!
Last night on the Overland Track watching the red and orange colours glow on the mountain cliffs.
Day 6 - Windy Ridge to Cynthia Bay via Narcissus Hut: (55:16 - 01:04:37)
Our final day on the Overland Track. Left the Bert Nicholls hut early and made our way through changing landscapes.
Passing the only suspension bridge and on to Narcissus Hut before taking the ferry to Cynthia Bay, Lake St Clair.
After checking into the lodge we had our first big dinner in over a week. Hamburgers and beer before a walk along the lake during a spectacular sunset .
The Overland Track wrap up - (01:04:37 - 01:18:01)
