I spent 14 days hiking the Overland track hiking it both directions during the winter. 12 of those days it was raining and all the mountain peaks have been covered with clouds. But at least I was lucky to see snow and when the sky cleared up get some views from mount Ossa. Other photos I've got during the day trips from Cradle Mountain and Lake St Clair areas, when the weather was better.
Great work have been done to the track construction. The camping options would be convenient private and public huts, as well as areas for tenting. There are numerous option for side trips to the mountain tops along the trail, or some challenging multi day detours such as the Du Cane Range ridge walking. All this make the track great for people with all kind of expectations and interesting to visit several times.
