Leaving Pine Valley hut and returning to the Overland proper the trail meanders out towards Lake St Clair. Those pressed for time take the boat from the top end of the lake, circumventing the final 18km of track… the guidebook cheerily stating “…opting for the boat, most walkers don’t finish the Overland Track…”
