Hi,
I have a copy of a mag called " Great Walks, Australia's Bushwalking Magazine" Aug/Sep 2010. (published by Yaffa NSW) The feature article is " Mum, dad and three kids take on the Overland Track and experience a walk they'll never forget". Worth a look.
The OT can make or break budding bushwalkers, young or old, depending on the actual experience of the trip. (Come on, you've all seen folk on the OT, tortured beyond comprehension, for a raft of reasons.)
I intend to take my kids, or they take me, on the OT, but not for a while yet. They're 7 & 9 now, I will wait til they're 12 or 15, or longer if necessary.
I want it to be a great experience, not a show stopper.
