View of Overland Track Northern Peaks
About
When in Tasmania, View of Overland Track Northern Peaks is the local business that walkers watch for along the Overland Track, at Cradle Mountain TAS 7306. It is a viewpoint rather than a building, a place where the northern peaks of the Overland Track fill the outlook.
What the viewpoint is known for is the sweep of those northern peaks, seen from the track itself rather than from a road. First-time visitors should expect a natural vantage point reached on foot, with weather that changes quickly and light that shifts across the ranges. A rating of 5 out of 5, gathered from 40 reviews, puts it among the most consistently praised viewpoints in the area, and five photos give a preview of the outlook.
Cradle Mountain sits in the island's north-west, and the Overland Track address is the reference to use when planning a walk. Hobart, Launceston and Devonport are the island's main centres, with Burnie and Strahan further around the coast.
Tasmania lies far enough south to stay cool for much of the year, so walkers should pack for wind and rain rather than warm days. The island's wildlife is a draw in itself: Tasmanian devils live in the wild only here, alongside wombats, quolls and pademelons. Australian island communities keep strong surf lifesaving, fishing and farming traditions, and the apple and dairy farms of the north-west sit close to the track. Reaching Tasmania is easiest by air to Launceston or Hobart, and the drive on to Cradle Mountain is a straightforward run through the north-west.
