Tasmania's Overland Track and the Larapinta Trail in Central Australi a near Alice Spirngs are considered to be Australia's two most iconic walks . Club members recently completed both hikes.

The Overland Tr ack is across Tasmania's old glaciated mountian ranges in a "World Heritage Area". It is 65 km + a water taxi ride from the starting point at Dove Lake in the north to Lake St Clair in the south (a glacial lake like Rotoiti)  Add another 17 km if you walk around Lake St Clair. It is wa lked by some 8000 people per year, mostly in the Oct-May period. Much of th e trail is above 1000m with Mt Ossa, Tasmania's highest peak at 1617m compl eted as a side walk.

The Larapinta Trail is just over 220 km long and is north-west of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory in the West MacDo nnell National Park. It is essentially a hot, dry climate (VERY hot in the summer), so is generally walked in the 'cooler' winter months. Its highets point si 1379m.....not much different to most of the Tasmanian peaks! It ca n be walked in 12 stages (days?) so organising your food is part of the cha llenge. It can also be walked in shorter lengths. Since opening in 2002, it now has up to 5000 hikers doing some or all of it each year.
