Walks in Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park

Hard

65 km

8 days

Overland Track

The best-known, and arguably best quality, bushwalk in Australia, the Overland Track traverses the finest of Tasmania's wilderness: rugged mountain peaks, wild alpine moors and deep forests. With a series of side-trips available, no two trips are the same.

Hard

65 km one-way

6 days

OVERLAND TRACK, TASMANIA

6 days/5 nights - Cradle Mountain to Lake St. Clair

Medium

7 km one-way

3 hrs

Pine Valley

If the lure of the Tassie wilds is becoming too much, but you are concerned about 'biting off more than you can chew'. Then Pine Valley is a great 'toe dipper'. Reasonably straightforward to get to with good facilities means the experience is all the better.....no control over the weather though :)

Easy

4.7 km return

1 hr

Platypus Bay

An easy walk to a nice beach, with a nearby "hide" for viewing platypus (best at dawn and dusk).

This easy walk follows the crest of glacial moraine for part of it's route and takes you through eucalypt and then rainforest to the junction of the Cuvier and Hugel Rivers. in Spring and summer many wildflowers, including acacia, waratah, hakea, orchid and leatherwood are in flower. Many birds and other wildlife including wallabies, pademelons, echidnas and tiger snakes make be seen on the walk.

​From Cynthia Bay at Lake St Clair, three varied short walks offer a taste of the southern end of the famous Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park.
The lamairremener tabelti walk offers an insight into the Aboriginal people who lived around leeawuleena (Lake St Clair) for thousands of years.
The Watersmeet Walk takes you to the confluence of the Cuvier and Hugel rivers. A short walk beyond that is a loop to Platypus Bay, where platypus are sometimes seen. All three walks can be combined for a 4.7km figure-of-eight loop.​​​
