The Overland Track
The walk I guided for years, and the best first multi-day walk in Australia.
65 km (40 miles) over 6 days, hut to hut or in a tent. Bookings open for the October to May season.
"To prep for the overland track I made sure I walked 10000 steps most days (Mowser tip) and added weights(Mowser tip) to my back pack and walked a 30 minute hill climb on the treadmill. Both tips meant my legs were well prepared for the track and will use these tips again - Thankyou."
Carolyn, Overland Track
I'm Mowser. I love planning a big walk almost as much as walking it.
My first big walk was Frenchmans Cap, at 13, in rain and mud. I wanted to give up. I finished, and I was hooked.
Since then I have guided more than 500 people along the Overland Track. I have done off-track walks of 9, 10, 12 and 13 days, and one epic of 26 days. I have also travelled to 25 countries, many of them with my wife and our four kids.
I put out at least one video every week, and my newsletter, Mowser's Musings, every week. Each one takes one part of the plan: food, water, pack weight or the route. Most people who follow along live in the US, the UK and Australia.
"Mowser is knowledgeable, reliable and sober - like the leader one would want on a hard, confronting trek in the Tasmanian wilds."
