The Overland Track - Part 1 - Ronny Creek to Waterfall Valley

The Overland Track is one of Australia’s most famous hiking trails, winding through the Tasmanian World Heritage Wilderness Area. Starting near the visually stunning Cradle Mountain, the track heads south over vast open moorlands and through dark muddy rainforests, with night in rustic huts. It’s a beautiful journey through an ever changing landscape that tests our personal limits.
This is where all our adventures began! Our freshly formed team start at Ronny Creek in perfect weather to climb Cradle Mountain, then descend to Waterfall valley hut for Caroline's first ever night camping on a self supported walk!
Join Caroline and Tyson in this 4-part series as they experience the world famous Overland Track in Tasmania. All episodes here: • The Overland Track Series

It is one of the best hikes in the world, did in 2002 and I will be doing it again hopefully in December 2024

After seeing this first episode this is now a bucket list trip! Stunning scenery. Well filmed Steve (I didn't hear any heavy breathing). Thanks Caroline and Tyson for sharing.

Hey guys, great video! I hiked the Overland Track solo in Feb of this year, including the Pine Valley side trip. I was also lucky enough to have great weather the first day and summit cradle mountain. This video is just making me want to do it all again!

Hi Caroline, New series! Great! I had planned to hike this trail in December of this year, but Covid19 threw a wrench in that plan. Hopefully, by late 2021 we'll be back to (a new?) normal. When did you start the hike? When would you recommend starting weather-wise? How busy was the trail?

[@CarolineThomsen]

Hi Vered, really hope you can make it to do the Overland, it is stunning. It was actually my first ever overnight hike! I went in mid-April. It was school holidays, the huts were at capacity, but super cosy and nice. I loved all the people and we ended up being a big "hiking family" by the end of the trip. Weather-wise, it depends what temperature you like to walk in But Tassie is renowned to by anything and everything all year round - so prepare for sun, rain, wind and snow in the same trip! If you go in summer, the longer days might be nice.
