Day 3: Sunday 23rd November 2025
Launceston-Ronny Creek-Waterfall Valley
Welcome to one of Australia’s greatest walks! Your adventure begins with a pickup from our hotel between 7-7.30am and drive 2.5 hours to Waldheim, ‘forest home’, where our Overland Track trek begins. We will stop briefly along the way for a coffee and pastry before heading onto the start of the Overland Track for a final briefing!
​
The morning is spent walking up past lakes and tarns to the top of the Cradle Plateau where we are rewarded with views of Dove Lake and an endless horizon of impressive mountain ranges. After lunch, weather and time permitting, we may opt for a side trip to the craggy summit of Cradle Mountain before making our way to Waterfall Valley for our first night under the stars.
Today’s walk is approximately 10 kilometres, 5 hours + side trips. If weather and time allow, there is also, the opportunity to summit Cradle Mountain today.
Day 4: Monday 24th November 2025
Waterfall Valley-Lake Windermere
After breakfast at our campsite we continue south to Lake Windermere. A leisurely day that offers time for a side trip to Lake Will – named after a coal prospector in the 1800s. There is opportunity to have a relaxing lunch and swim from the sandy shores of Lake Will. Returning to our packs we head back across the rolling buttongrass plains to our stunning campsite. We spend the afternoon kicking back with a hot drink taking in the fabulous views from camp, and perhaps having another refreshing swim.
​
Today’s walk is approximately 8 kilometres, 3-4 hours, not including the optional side trip to climb the bluff.
Day 5: Tuesday 25th November 2025
Lake Windermere-Pelion Plains
Today is a wild day of moorlands and mountain views. We don our packs and walk across Pine Forest Moor with spectacular views across the massive Forth River Valley to the lofty heights of Mt Oakleigh and to today’s destination at its base. We descend around Mount Pelion West to a popular lunch spot at Frog Flats. After lunch we walk up through tall, lush forest onto the great expanse of Pelion Plains. We have the option of a short side trip to Old Pelion Hut to gain a deeper appreciation of the park’s rich history.
​
Today’s walk is approximately 17 kilometres, 7 hours.
Day 6: Wednesday 26th November 2025
Pelion Plains-Kia Ora Hut
From camp we continue walking south through Myrtle forest, past tufted Pandani trees, then up to the saddle (1113m) between Mount Pelion East and Mount Ossa. This is the perfect place for a well deserved rest. In fine weather climbing Mount Ossa – Tasmania’s highest peak at 1617m – is without a doubt one of the highlights of the Overland Track. With magnificent views in all directions we continue south into Pinestone Valley to our creek-side campsite overlooking the grand spires of Cathedral Mountain.
​
Today’s walk is approximately 9 kilometres, 4 hours. Allow 3-4 additional hours for the Mt Ossa or Mt Pelion East side trip.
Day 7: Thursday 27th November 2025
Kia Ora Hut-Du Cane Gap-Bert Nichols
Today we walk through towering rainforests of Leatherwood and Sassafrass trees, heading towards
three of Tasmania’s largest and most spectacular waterfalls. The first we visit is Fergusson Falls, named after a former ranger at Lake St Clair, followed by Dalton Falls. The third of these enchanting falls is the spectacular Hartnett Falls, named after Paddy Hartnett, an eccentric Irish bushman who was rarely seen without his bowler hat. We walk up through Du Cane Gap then descend to our campsite at Bert Nichols.
Today’s walk is approximately 10 kilometres, 5 hours.
Day 8: Friday 28th November 2025
Bert Nichols-Lake St Clair-Launceston
Today we pack our backpacks for the final day on the track, which takes us through mixed eucalyptus and stands of temperate rainforest to the shore of Lake St Clair, the deepest natural lake in the Southern Hemisphere. As we near Lake St Clair we can gaze up to the peaks of Mt Ida and majestic Mount Olympus. We catch a 30 minute ferry across the lake, providing spectacular views back upon the mountains we’ve walked past, and a wonderful conclusion to our Overland Track experience.
After time to explore the visitor centre and a celebratory lunch, we board the bus for our return drive across the Central Plateau to Launceston. You will be dropped off at your Launceston accommodation at approximately 5pm.
Tonight is at your leisure as some may want to rest up and relax!
Today’s walk is approximately 10 kilometres, 4 hours.
Day 9: Saturday 29th November 2025
Launceston to home
