Bushwalk Australia

Looks like some big problems today with the new overland track bookings system. It was already delayed a week, and now it's been taken offline completely again.

Anyone caught up in it?

Started trying to book my walk at 9am. No luck. Now on the wait list. Fingers crossed!

A bit of a dog's brekky. I saw an email response saying there were abt 1500 people affected, and the mention of double bookings. Which does suggest most will get a spot. Their month, if not their day. Maybe not Xmas > January, always a mad scramble for the school breaks.

The old booking system wasn't the best, but it would seem not enough testing was done on the new system. I pity the Parks people having to wade through all the emails and book everyone manually.

Yes, i'm sure there were lot's of frustrated people. It's ironic given the inevitable perspective the walk will impose.
For the most stressed (no association and just as a suggestion), there are always the guided camping tour options, who also book in on a separate system. Much stress avoided..
