Great Video. The booking system in Tassie seems to have a lot of faults. I understand people get delayed, snowed in or slower with injuries, but imagine if those huts couldn't cater, regardless of bookings. I need to do this, only done a few further south. One hike I did, was so cold overnight, my eye lids were frozen shut when I woke up.

How long until PWS introduce a fee for June to August? 40 people in a hut is simply putrid. YUK. Its actually not great for the facilities either as they are not being serviced anywhere near as often. Most Rangers are on leave.

It sure was a surprise to see so many people out on the track at that time of year. I would saybits not like that every week during winter season. School holidays may have played a part.

Your videos are so inspiring and informative. I hoping to do the overland track next year 2025 if everything goes well. It's funny, all the videos people post of the overland, they don't show any of the waterfalls in waterfall valley. I kept wondering why it was called Waterfall Valley hut, so now I know thank you.

Loved this video. I climbed Mt Anne three times in the 1980s and 1990s, and it's a favourite southwest spot for me. A highlight of one of the trips was climbing from Sandfly Creek to the Northeast Ridge (hopping past the sinkholes) and then onto the Anne summit from the other side of the mountain. Good times!

Well done all of you! You must be fit to complete that walk in that short time. Our party (in 1982) took 9 days; 3 in from SPD, 3 camped at HL and 3 out via the YoYo Track. It's certainly an achievement you'll remember forever!

Oh my gosh 😍😍. How happy i am to be able to find your youtube channel with all your videos taking your kids to this trail. They are legends, you all are!!! What a great adventure family ! I have been watching many overland hike videos but haven’t see any with kids till i found yours. I love Tassie so much! Been living in Victoria for almost 15 years now and we have a daughter just turned 8. We did a lot of day hike kind of thing but never over night and i really like to take my daughter to do more hikes and in to overnight hikes. When i was younger my overnight were rough in Sumatra -Indonesia but not as rough like here (weather wise). Been back to Tassie few times, last trip was Sep last year (2023) . Really looking forward to our next trip. Thank you for sharing and great jobs to you all guys! ❤❤

Hi! I definitely don't mind at all! They had done a few overnighters, but not any multiday hikes prior. They had done many full big day hikes though! Kids have so much more energy than adults! They are definitely quicker to complain etc but when we got into the hut each night... 5 minutes of rest and they were full.of beans again! I have no regrets! I knew they were ready and this was honestly one of the best things I have done with them! Memories I will cherish forever!!

A great presentation enjoyed by this 82 year old as a memory tickler thanks to U Tube. { beats a slide presentation hands down} First visited area in 1967 when the Scotts Peak Road was only just started at Frodshams Pass so we had to bash our way to Condominium Creek the old fashioned way by Shanks Pony. Been back 3 times ,the last Solo climb of Anne November 1985 but regrettably missed doing the Circuit. Several trips up Schnells ridge, Lake Judd, Arthurs and Lake Timk under Lots Wife. Keep up the good work with your blogs.😁

Good on you for NOT climbing Lots Wife! I can hear the angst in your voice at 18:21 and also later on about the failed attempt to summit LW. YES, its frustrating to get ALL the way there only not to achieve the peak but there are more important things in life (family) than conquering a lump of rock and to risk serious injury.....lets face it..one slip and your dead around there. P.S getting to the "plateau ridge " before Lots Wife through the jungle was a bit tricky!!! I found a few ways that the track got to the "plateau ridge"
