Wanted: Photos of Young Overland Track Walkers

Thu 06 Feb, 2014 9:14 am

Hi all - a friend working with Parks is looking for images of young walkers/children on the Overland Track. I think she's working on a kids' activity book for the track. There would need to be full permission to use the image(s) and they would be credited of course, but I don't know if she'll be able to pay :(

Please PM me if you can help and I'll put you in touch with her.

cheers

Peter

I haven't checked with my friend, but I guess from about 7 - 11 years old. I doubt many would - or perhaps should - take kids younger than that.

Cheers

The photo in the article at viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16242#p215932 is technically on the Overland Track. We weren't doing the whole track though, just out for two nights.

My photos will probably be no good then, my daughter was 15 when we did the Overland Track. Oh happy memories.

Thanks Nik - nice pic, and a great story. I'll get my friend to contact you direct if she wants to use the photo,

cheers

Are other areas permissible.
I've a lot of photos of young daughter in and around Walls, Lees Paddocks, but many could have been plucked from many highland areas.
