    Visitor Centre via Overland Track
    One of the hardest things I’ve done in the middle of winter with snow, rain and hail. Would love to do it again in the shoulder season.

    Marions Lookout Loop via Overland Track
    Great day hike. Plan 5h at a decent but not hurried pace. Beautiful scenery and the Hanson Peak stretch is far less busy. Overall medium difficulty for reasonably experienced hikers, about 6–8 steep difficult stretches of up to 30m of exposed rock to scale. Some with ropes. Could be tricky for smaller kids and not recommendable when wet. In dry conditions great. We started up Hanson Peak, which is the direction I’d recommend.

    Wombats, stinging hail, beautiful waterfalls, a world heritage area... what’s not to like.
