What is the best way to get back to Avoca from Lake St Clair after walking the Overland Track?

I think your best bet would be catching a Tassielink bus and arranging with the driver to get dropped off at Campbell Town.

Here's their timetable: http://www.tassielink.com.au/seasonal/Cradle%20Mountain%20&%20Lake%20St%20Clair%202008-2009.pdf

I know Tasmanian Tour Company seem to do a semi regular run from Lake St Clair up north. Might be worth a ring to see if they go near where you are headed.

Thanks for the replies.
We are going to finish the OT on the 3 or 4 March.
We currently have some friends who may be able to pick us up but just wanted to have a fall back if that does not work out.
