G'day,

Planning to do the overlander track in May and having trouble finding a bus transfer to the start of the overlander track. Has anyone got any suggestions here? Also is it possible to get a pick up from the end of the track?

Cheers

to my mind late April is worth the few $, fagus at it's best, brianiac's and school groups at their least....


That's what I guessed, that's why we're going late May.

I imagine that the side trips will be as un/crowded as the main track. An option if you want to give a crowd the slip is to plan a rest day or two and spend an extra night at appropriate times... A tent will also normally give a better nights sleep than a hut. Leaving either very early or respectably late in the day can give you a 'private run' at some side trips.


I'm hoping for crappy weather on our first day which will hopefully deter a few people. :D
