AT Comparison in Tasmania

The Toronto, Canada Globe and Mail of 27 January 2007 carries an article by Darryl Leniuk titled "Tassie's Toughest Track" in which he compares a 70 kilometer (you do the math) trail on the island of Tasmania with our AT.

He writes that "the Overland Track is Australia's most popular multiday walk, attracting about 9,000 hikers each year. It cuts through the centre of the island, traversing alpine meadows, mountain lakes and craggy peaks. While the Track is more Appalachian Trail than Andes, I didn't expect to see snow."

Sounds like a nice hike. Maybe next time I'm down south ....
