"Mr Kossoff, the astigmatism in your right eye has mysteriously corrected itself. Let me explain..."
The Overland Track ends here. One of Australia's premier hiking tracks starts at Cradle Mountain and finishes at Lake St Clair. In the old days people could make the trek in both directions, but in these days of regulation and user pays it is a register, pay and travel in one direction only track. As you'll see from the official link below it takes 6 days to make the 65 kilometre trek and will cost you $200 for the pass:

A number of private companies have taken to promoting the trek and provide an all-inclusive guided service for several thousand dollars. I won't provide any links here, but you can find them online if you have the cash. As a former Australian Prime Minister once said, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
In 1931 fur trapper Bert Nichols created the Overland Track and by 1935 it was consolidated and used by independent walking parties. By 1937 it was officially named the Overland Track and the track had been upgraded to be used for guided tours and pack horses.

The Overland Track can be a very dangerous place to be, certainly with the very changeable weather in the region. So the fact it is well monitored and regulated is a good thing. In 1965 there was a disastrous school hike that claimed the lives of a student teacher, Ewan Scott, and a student David Kilvert. The heroism of Scott as he tried to save the life of Kilvert in blizzard conditions is remembered in this article: www.examiner.com.au/story/3068014/heroism-defined-in-moun...

Shots straight out of my iPhone... this is my 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD 4x4 Off-Road truck transformed by the Asheville Vehicle Outfitters in NC to overland and rock crawl... I climbed to the summit of Windrock mountain (traversing one trail segment rated difficult). I then drove down to southern FL.. coming back to IL to finalize the sale of my house. Next spring, I’m heading into the wildernesses of Canada and Alaska, taking a 7+ month photography trip (and that’s just the beginning). It is parked in my driveway here in Macomb, Illinois... but I'm selling the house and will soon be living out of the truck.

The original photo was of a whimsical statue seen at the Plimoth Patuxet Musems (Plymouth, Massachusetts ) Photoleap was used to create this image.
If you want to learn more about the museums and their marvelous reenactment center this link will provide information:
The Jeepster is an automobile originally produced by Willys-Overland Motors from 1948 to 1950. It was developed in hopes of filling a gap in the company's product line, crossing over from their "utilitarian" proto SUVs and trucks to the passenger automobile market. The basic model included numerous deluxe features and interior fittings in addition to a high level of standard equipment that cost extra on other automobiles. A total of almost 20,000 were manufactured.

Hit a snow storm on the Overland Route somewhere between Green River, WY and Ogden, UT on our way to Las Vegas, NV
Not quite Midsummer, but close enough when for a short period of time there was plenty of light still to get The Overland emerging from sleeps Hill tunnel in good light before the shadows started to lengthen.
V/Line loco N468 is only about 10Km into its 800km overnight journey from Adelaide to Melbourne on 7 January 1993.
The Overland Track is an Australian bushwalking track, traversing Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, within the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. It's walked by more than nine thousand people each year, with numbers limited in the warmer months.
Officially the track runs for 65 kilometres (40 mi) from Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair however many choose to extend it by walking along Lake St Clair for an extra day, bringing it to 82 kilometres (51 mi).
It winds through terrain ranging from glacial mountains, temperate rainforest, wild rivers and alpine plains.
Our last bush camp in Bolivia before crossing over to Argentina. We were traveling with Oasis overland.
Indian Pacific liveried NR26 works 5MA8 Overland service from Melbourne to Adelaide on Thursday afternoon on 29-11-07.
Four of Pacific National's GE powered NR class were painted into this scheme and later NR18 into a newer scheme. Later all would receive repaints and a simplified Indian Pacific scheme would be applied
It might be just my imagination, but I think I can see letters painted on the old stonework. Amgourie tea?

Monday 24th September 2018
This seems like a fun idea, until you remember there's not much room to pack stuff you need for an extended camping trip.
