Overland Track

The Overland Track walks 78 km through the middle of Tasmania's wilderness, from Cradle Mountain south to the deep water of Lake St Clair. We draw it from real map data, matched to the road itself. The preview on screen is the finished poster, and it ships straight away.

Make it yours: 17 art styles, 19 colourways and your own title, with the poster redrawing live as you pick.

Giclée-printed at 300 dpi on 200 gsm matte art paper. Framed posters come in black, white or natural timber, ready to hang.

The route

The track leaves Cradle Mountain at Ronny Creek and runs south past Waterfall Valley and Lake Windermere, on through the Pelion Plains under Mount Oakleigh, then down through Kia Ora and Windy Ridge to finish at Narcissus Hut on the northern tip of Lake St Clair. Since 2005 a booking system has capped the track at 60 walkers a day between October and May, everyone setting out from Cradle Mountain and walking south, roughly the ground Gustav Weindorfer had in mind when his 1922 proposal turned the land between the mountain and the lake into a single protected reserve.

At Narcissus Hut the walk is not quite over: from there it is another day on foot around the lake's western shore, or a booked place on the small Ida Clair ferry, a thirty minute crossing to Cynthia Bay that most walkers choose. Cradle Mountain, where the whole walk started, is usually long out of sight by then, hidden behind days of button grass plains and eucalypt forest.

Made for someone who walked it. Or for your own wall, because you did.
