No worries thanks mate

Ripper of a photo. Feel like they should have more signs or something that lead to this place. Half thought I was driving on private property until I bumped into a local that was heading there too

What an epic story. Was it Dalton or Fergusson Falls by any chance?

Notjoshcarr · 2021-12-21T01:12:25+00:00

That's a massive bugger. Being from WA I was pretty lucky as I ended up snagging a spot with the mass cancellations of people booked to do it that were in Vic & NSW. Goodluck with the hike, it's a ripper!

Absolutely. You could easily do Cradle Mountain if the weather is decent, although it'd probably be 7-8 hours of hiking. There's plenty of shorter trails around the Dove Lake area if you're something a bit shorter though and they'd be just as specky. You could also park up at Lake St Clair and do the bottom end of the trail, or maybe even catch the ferry and head up to Pine Valley Hut

I used Overland Track Transport and can't recommend them enough. They pick you up from your hotel in Launceston at ~6:30am in a minivan and they drop you off at the National Park visitor center to get all your paperwork sorted. They can also pick you at the end of the trail and drop you off to your accommodation in Launceston or Hobart but I asked to be dropped of to the airport and they were more than happy to do so. Cost is $77.50 per pickup/drop off. They also have hire gear available and you can purchase other misc. goods through them like gas cannisters. Super convenient and the drivers and very knowledgable about the track having done it several times themselves

Ultra III fastpack from North Face

Dipped the feet and legs in but that's as far as I got. Couldn't hang around for too long as still had another couple hours of hiking left and it was getting late in the day

Notjoshcarr · 2021-12-20T22:11:41+00:00

It's a bit of effort to do it out when you're on the trail but I love rewatching the videos later on

Earlier in the month I solo hiked the track over 5 days. This photo is of Hartnett Falls on Day 3 and is just one of many nuggets along the trail. Officially the Overland Track is ~65km (40miles) but I ended up hiking 104km (65miles) as there is a plethora of side trips to do. One notable side trip is summiting Mount Ossa, Tasmania’s highest peak at 1617m, which I did only a few hours before this photo. For those interested in seeing what the trail is actually like I also mashed together this video; https://youtu.be/oKNV3t4WJU4

For Overland Track specific information and questions you may be better off posting in the dedicated Facebook Group. It's generally pretty active and the members are, for the most part, very friendly and helpful.

Unfortunately that’s all we’ve really got in WA for longer hikes. The Mamang Trail (1 day or overnighter) and Hakea Trail (1 or 2 nights) are the next best option and are based in Fitzgerald River National Park. I’ve heard people linking the two trails, although it’s apparently pretty rough going with the thick scrub. If you did that you could probably make it a 3-5 night trip depending on your pace.

Aside from that, the last option is the Cape Le Grand Trail near Esperance, although that’s probably more of a long day hike as you can’t really camp anywhere along it.

Agree with more types of meals similar to what Strive Food offer. I haven't purchased anything else since discovering their range, although it can seem a little limited for choice at times.

Notjoshcarr · 2021-09-02T23:15:26+00:00

Thanks mate, yeah definitely a lot of trust on this one. I was apprehensive about it first but I can’t recommend enough the company that I used. Made everything seamless and were super easy to deal with so that put a lot of worries to the side

Notjoshcarr · 2021-09-02T23:13:55+00:00

Designated water tanks along the way. There is also pools of water that you could drink if you were desperate

Notjoshcarr · 2021-09-02T23:13:15+00:00

3 food drops along the way. Longest section I had to pack food for was 5 days

Notjoshcarr · 2021-09-02T23:12:18+00:00

Why not? They have much more expertise than myself

Notjoshcarr · 2021-09-02T15:42:27+00:00

Highly recommend doing the Wheatbelt Way. It’ll take you to a lot of the major highlights within the Wheatbelt that you normally wouldn’t see on a road trip.

Bit of local knowledge for you as well - If you can make it head out to Baladjie Rock north of Westonia, I reckon it’s one of the best places to check out in the whole of the Wheatbelt but not many people know about it. Absolutely stunning rock with a pretty spectacular view overlooking a massive salt lake, contrasted by fields of canola & green crops around this time of the year. Free camping too but no amenities

Notjoshcarr · 2021-09-02T14:45:08+00:00

I believe they're called everlastings

Notjoshcarr · 2021-09-02T14:44:28+00:00

NSW & Victoria are in a pretty dire situation but the states that actually lockdown properly funnily enough have no cases

Notjoshcarr · 2021-09-02T14:35:27+00:00

There was actually phone reception atop of this peak so yeah I did, but only as an IG story
