Cradle Mountain

On the second day of our 1000km round trip of Tassie we hit up Cradle Mountain with the obligatory stop off at the raspberry farm for supplies. The game is to eat as many of the complimetary chocolate coated raspberries without the person behind the counter noticing. I reckon I got about 7-8 down before we left, mmm...

The view from Marions lookout over Dove Lake. This was beautiful when we were coming back down in low light but we were both so buggered and in a hurry to beat nightfall that we didnt stop for photo's...



More from Marions, the carpark where we started is down on the right of the photo. The first carpark where we started last time is up in the middle left...



CONGRATS!!! You made it! So *sniff* proud! If only we had more time to dine at the top. I could see clouds moving in and the time was becoming a concerning issue but we still did it. I was nervous as hell coming back down off the rough stuff though. Felt much better when we hit the path again...



I cant remember the name of this peak but we'll have to climb it some day. Should be an early start to get it done in a day!



And of course what would a visit to cradle be like without a photo of the boathouse, Dove lake and Cradle all combined into one?
