Kia Ora Hut Public Camping Platform

Located on the Overland Track in Tasmania, the Kia Ora Hut Public Camping Platform sits alongside Kia Ora Creek, nestled below the Ducane Range and Cathedral Mountain.

The site serves as the Day 4 destination for walkers travelling from Pelion, reached via a gradual descent across buttongrass plains and eucalypt forest from Pelion Gap.

The camping area offers nine tent platforms for self-guided walkers, complementing the adjacent Kia Ora Hut, which has a sleeping capacity of 34.

A bridge over Kia Ora Creek provides access to swimming spots upstream, while a steep track downstream leads to Kia Ora Falls and its refreshing pool.

The name "Kia Ora" — a Māori greeting — was given to the creek by early park guide Paddy Hartnett of New Zealand, and both the hut and camping area take their name from it.
