Tourist Guide

Amanita, a poisonous mushroom found on the ground!

Tassie was pulling out all the stops when my first day on the #OverlandTrack started. What a way to start my journey through Cradle Mountain #NationalPark!!

Trekking the Overland Track. If you're hard core you can carry your own gear and camp, or if you're like me and appreciate a warm, dry bed and a good meal at the end of the day, you can travel with Cradle Mountain Huts and stay in gorgeous cabins. This picture was taken in April which was unseasonable snowy. #snow #hiking

The Overland Track is a 65km (40 mi) track through the World Heritage Area from Cradle Mountain to Lake Saint Clair through beautiful Tasmanian wilderness. Most people take 5-6 days for the hike through the diverse terrain of sheer mountains, temperate rainforests, wild rivers and alpine plains. #hiking
