Bushwalk Australia

HI,

Just wondering what the best map is for the overland track?

Cheers

There is a map in the National Parks series specifically for the Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park which covers the Overland Track. I think it is 1:100,000, but not sure. It certainly has all most people would need if doing the known tracked walks, plus a variety of information printed on the reverse side.

Where would i be able to get a hold of one of these?

From here: https://www.tasmap.tas.gov.au/ (the waterproof version is even featured on the front page )

Or from any bushwalking shop in Tasmania.

I reckon just use the map in Chapman's book the Overland Track. It probably has more detail than you will ever need and is a pretty good scale, set up for each day (s) most people walk.
Enjoy the trip

I agree with Frank.These maps from Chapman's book are quite good with the overlay of the ups and downs.I have copied them and put together in days and this seems to be a great option. Ialso have the map but I think I try the Chapman's maps next time. Steve C
