Overland Track is more than just scenery By

You'll come for the valleys carved by glaciers long gone, the craggy mountain peaks and the wildlife unique to Tasmania.
And you won't be disappointed.
The trail linking Cradle Mountain in the north to Lake St Clair in the south deserves its status as an icon.
But if you are like most who attempt the Overland Track, chances are it will be the people you will remember most.
Sure, some tackle the walk determined to remain solitary, choosing to commune with the wilderness one on one.
A few even succeed, despite the odds.
But the walk has a way of bringing people together.
Some experiences are simply best shared.
Like watching the brazen little eastern quoll, scampering between the tents at the first campsite, Kitchen Hut, checking for open backpacks and unattended food.
Or the one of the site's resident Bennetts wallabies, so used to human contact that hikers could sidle up to it and, if they took their time and were very careful, stroke the fur on its back as it munched on the grass.
Sometimes the amazement felt by visitors can bring a new wonder to what Australians might have come to see as mundane.
Australia's spiky monotreme can look even more unworldly through the eyes of a newcomer like Mike, the retired seaport manager from England, who announced excitedly: "I saw one of those enchilada things!"
Or Tatjana, the surgeon from Germany's Black Forest, who on the final evening of the hike casually mentioned she had done stints with Medicins San Frontieres in Tanzania, the Congo and Haiti.
You would think she'd seen it all, until she - literally - jumped and clapped her hands for joy when a wallaby sprang from the bush and bounded through the site, zig-zagging languidly between the campers and their tents.
You will remember the spartan but spacious comfort of Bert Nichols hut, and the view across the valley to the mist-shrouded spires of the Du Cane Range silhouetted against the late afternoon sun.
But more vivid will be the memory of how a diverse band of travellers rallied that night to help one of a group of university students from New South Wales as she struggled with an unexpected asthma attack.
And how Jake and Annie, experienced nurses hailing from northern Victoria, saved the day by producing the biggest, most lavishly provisioned first-aid kit anyone had ever seen.
It would be hard to forget the view from the veranda of the Kia Ora hut, the fourth of five huts in the standard six-day, five-night trek.
The view from there, looking east across the plain hosting the upper reaches of the Mersey River to the majestic Cathedral Mountain, will stay with you.
But so will the irrepressible Chris, travelling the world after a long stint researching for the off-beat British TV quiz show QI.
Even after the 17 kilometre hut-to-hut walk the day before, and the morning's nine kilometre hike from Pelion Hut, with the five kilometre side trip to climb Tassie's highest peak, Mt Ossa, thrown in for good measure, he still had energy to burn.
So what else would he do but swap his 20-kilo backpack for a lighter daypack and set off for a quick five kilometre round trip across the flat and a 500-metre ascent of Cathedral Mountain?
Just the walk itself is something to recall.
The most basic version of the walk, starting with a challenging climb up to Crater Lake and around the base of Cradle Mountain, then on to the northern tip of Lake St Clair, is memorable, and it is 60 kilometres long.
Add on any number of spectacular side-trips - Mt Ossa, The Labyrinth, The Acropolis, Barn Bluff, Lake Will, Cradle Mountain itself - and the journey could easily be extended well beyond that.
An extra day or two reserved for such excursions will multiply the experience.
But you will not only remember the walk but that travelling along with you was Lynne, whose day job was to coax an electron microscope into revealing the "secrets of the nano-world", and who, at 57, was celebrating the first anniversary of her new hip.
And her younger friend Mei who, like Lynne, spends her weekends scaling Victoria's sheer rock walls but found that carrying a pack weighing at last half as much as she did was harder than she thought, but still toughed it out with the aid of ankle strapping, guts and ibuprofen.
You will probably forget the freeze-dried food, heated on a portable cooker.
But you won't so easily forget the conversation over dinner with Shane, the Irish-accented mathematical oceanographer (yes, there is such a thing), and his partner Stacey, the muralist and scenic painter from California, both now hailing from Sydney's bohemian inner suburbs.
And the sight of an echidna lumbering among the walkers without a care, sniffing their boots on the way through, sliding down the muddy bank into the icy water of Lake St Clair and - amazingly - going for an extended swim rather than take the long way around.
That will be remembered too.
When it is, though, the visual memory will come with its own soundtrack - the uni students squealing: "He's so cute! He's so cute!"
The Overland Track will give an experience of some of the most stunning scenery and fascinating wildlife Australia has to offer, but the people you meet will make it so much more than that.
