I've done the Overland Track four times. If you're in a group you'll have a blast. Main thing to be prepared for is all types of weather conditions. It can get quite hot one day, then sub-zero the next. Make sure you've got good quality outdoor gear, good boots and you've got your pack fitted properly to suit your back.

There's also a LOT of snakes in summer, though I'm not sure if this year's been a hot summer in Tassi. You might get lucky. They sit all over the walking paths and don't even bother to move when you step over them. :shock:
Hayden who??
