Tips

March 30, 2026

Overland Track at Ronny Creek marks the northern trailhead of Tasmania’s iconic long-distance walk, set within Cradle Mountain–Lake St Clair National Park. Beginning across button grass plains and boardwalks, this section offers immediate views of Cradle Mountain and plenty of wildlife sightings, including wombats. It's a well-defined and easy start before the track climbs toward Marion’s Lookout and the alpine plateau.

The best time to watch these beautiful animals is in the evening, just before sunset. I was so close to them that you could even hear them smacking while eating 😀

I had already dreamed of this at home and today it came true. On this stretch of the boardwalk we saw so many cute wombats, often very close. Sometimes it's worth waiting a bit, the animals often come close to the boardwalk to graze. A unique experience!
