hiking Overland in first week of August

Hi all. I and my friend are planning the Overland track in first week of August.
We should arrive to Launceston at Sunday 1.8. and start with the trip next day, 2nd of August.
We would prefer to walk in bigger group, just in case of bad weather condition. Is anyone doing the hike in same time as us?
We are Slovak couple travelling OZ ...
