(Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) Overland track walk. Starting at Cradle Mountain and walking through to Cynthia Bay. Planning to do as many side trips as possible dependent upon weather. Side trips include Cradle Mountain, Barn Bluff, Mount Oakleigh, Mount Ossa, Hartnett Falls, an additional 2 nights in Pine Valley, Mount Acropolis, and Labyrinth.
Will need to pay for airfares, bus to and from track, one night accommodation at Launceston, one night accommodation at Cynthia Bay and one or two nights accommodation at Hobart. Need to pay for Overland Track Pass and Tasmania walking pass.

Even though there are huts all the way, still required to carry a tent, quality sleeping bag, sleeping mat, cooking gear, and food for 8 days. Hazards: Steep ascent with full pack day one.
