About the location
The overland track traverses Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park within Australia's Tazmanian wilderness. It sees over 9,000 visitors per year, with the majority of adventurers trekking it during the summer months. From Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair, the track is officially 65 kilometres long.
Cradle Mountain–Lake St Clair National Park, with its ancient rainforests and alpine heaths, is home to the world-famous Overland Track and iconic Cradle Mountain. Part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, the park is one of the state's most special places, where ancient pines fringe glacial lakes and icy streams cascade down rugged mountains.
The vegetation is rich and diverse including grassland, rainforest and many ancient plants such as the long-lived and endemic King Billy pine and the unusual native deciduous beech. The park also provides a rich habitat for wildlife, including Tasmanian devils, quolls, platypus, echidna and several bird species.
