Adventure time on the Overland Track

Adventure time on the Overland Track

Coming from Tasmania, we appreciate its natural beauty and amazing bush walks. Our Overland range of sunglasses is perfect for the outdoors - the lightweight, wooden arms and mirrored, polarised lenses make kids want to wear them as they are comfortable and look cool! 

Known worldwide for it’s breathtaking scenery, the Overland Track from Cradle Mountain to Lake St. Clair is set in the heart of Tasmania’s wilderness. Not for the faint hearted, the 65km journey is one of both mental and physical endurance. It takes about 5 days to complete and contains steep ascents and rocky terrain. However hikers are rewarded by traversing through pristine ancient rainforests and magical views of cascading waterfalls and towering dolerite peaks.

The park is a sanctuary for rare flora and fauna and contains a diverse array of ecosystems that have remained largely untouched for centuries. One of the highlights of this walk, is to be able to encounter Tasmania’s wildlife in its natural habitat - from elusive wombats to playful echidnas, as well as Tasmanian devils, the trail is full of fascinating creatures. You may even get the chance to spot a pink robin or vibrant green rosella amongst the trees. 

To ensure that the Overland Track remains a sanctuary for generations to come, hikers must tread lightly and follow the “leave no trace” principles. The ecosystems along the way are fragile and sensitive to human impact and it is vital to minimise our footprint and preserve the natural beauty of the area. 

So lace up your boots, grab your water bottle and a pair of Overland sunglasses and begin your adventure!
