Hiking the Overland Track in Tasmania in your 50s and 60s
My group of seven friends – women in our 50s and 60s who met through our over-35s football team – are joined by four others and two guides on the Tasmanian Walking Company’s trek. It’s a warm April day as we set off along boardwalks, passing through button grass and a waterfall en route to Cradle Mountain. The track is on a steady incline but once past Crater Lake it takes a steep and rocky turn.
