Never did the Overland Track but friends of mine who've done it said that it was grueling yet exhilirating! I did go to Cradle Mountain, which was beautiful. Tasmania is such a jewel of a place!

Tasmania is beautiful and unspoilt. The natural beauty is breathtaking, but there are too many prisons and gaols. Dont do too much of those prison visits, spend more time trekking around Cradle Mountain area and up the mountain to view Wine Glass Bay. The towns around Tasmania is also worth spending some time and you will be rewarded.

Gorgeous! This must be one of the most beautiful places on the entire planet. The Tasmanians should be very proud of their state. The Overland Track between Cradle Mountain and Lake St. Clair must be one of the finest hikes on Earth. I can't recommend it higher. But, if you do attempt this hike, please be fully prepared. The weather in this part of the world can be absolutely lethal. Oh and also, Tasmania, please STOP THE LOGGING!
 
Ben Fraser (Australia):
An area of spectacular natural beauty. Easily accessable at Cradle Mountain, and Lake St Claire. The Franklin river is amazing and it is scandelous that there was pressue to flood and destroy it in the 1970's. The flooding of Lake Pedder, which is also part of the World heritage area, was an unbelievable act of government anti environment policy
