This 6th Edition is the same size and layout as the 5th edition. Changes are the notes have been updated and also a short description has been included of the Jacksons Creek Track (an unmarked track that links the end of the Mersey Road with Lake Myrtle).Previous editions of this guide were published in 1979, 1984 (reprint with minor revisions), 1990, 1993, 1998 and 2006. 192 pages, 140 colour photographs, 4 key maps, 27 colour topographic maps.For those walking the Overland Track only, a companion guide, Overland Track, describing only that track and its major sidetrips could be considered. It is basically a subset of this guide which also includes the Overland Track, so we would expect walkers to use one or the other but not both. Both books are illustrated with mostly different photographs so if you are after a more complete set of images then you might consider obtaining both. An independent review of the both books describing the two books as the best walking guides in the world is on a USA website http://besthike.com/blog/2007/03/10/best-hiking-guidebooks/ The guide covers all the marked tracks and most of the unmarked tracks and routes in the Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair and Walls of Jerusalem National Parks. This is the northern half of the Western Tasmania World Heritage Area (WHA). Track notes for the southern half of the WHA are in South West Tasmania. Contains comprehensive track notes, brief background notes on history, weather, botany and geology, place names, comprehensive safety notes and access details.Walks described are one day walks to the Cradle Mountain and Lake St Clair Areas, The Overland Track with all sidetrips, Pine Valley, Arm River and Lees Paddocks access to Pelion Plains, Penguin Cradle Trail, Walls Of Jerusalem including access walks from all directions, linking routes between the two National Parks and an Other Routes section with rougher or poorly marked routes for experienced off-track walkers.

The new edition of Cradle Mountain – Lake St Clair… is a stunning contrast to the rather basic and monochromatic book design of previous editions. Not only has the title been thoroughly revised and its coverage extended, but it now features colour on every page with gradient profiles, photos, good clear maps and diagrams of seasonal weather conditions. The book essentially covers the mountains north of the Lyell Highway. It includes the Overland Track and other routes between The Cradle and St Clair. In addition it covers the Penguin - Cradle Trail from the north coast, the Walls of Jerusalem area and alternative access routes, including a couple from the Central Plateau near Great Lake. The walk descriptions are clear, complete and unambiguous.
In the past I’ve written some rather scathing reviews of guidebooks, but this is one book that is hard to fault. If pressed, I’d offer that it might have covered a little more of Tasmania’s Central Plateau and there could be a few more suggestions for camp sites. --© David Sisson
