To Cradle Mountain
21. mars 2022, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
After a bit of a late start due to tyre puncture issues we made our way to cradle with a short detour to pick up chocolate covered raspberries at Christmas Hills Raspberry Farm. We also stopped at Van Diemans Ice Cremery which was under renovation last year and Kirk got a very interesting leatherwood honey and pepperberry icecream. After that was the fairly long drive out of Launcestone to Cradle mountain. Our accommodation this time was at Cradle Mountain Wilderness Village as where we normally stay at the discovery parks was booked out. There was so much room with two bedrooms split by quite an ample living/kitchen/dining area and your own private balcony with a table and chair set. There isn't an oven and they probably don't provide as many things to cook with as at Discovery parks but it was still very good and we were able to cook for our entire trip. We only had one cabin on either side but we did hear the road noise as we were facing the main road in and out of Cradle but this dwindled down to no noise in the evening. Once we reached Cradle and unpacked we drove up to the interpretation centre and did some of the short walks around there including the enchanted walk and the forest walk. We even saw an Echidna!Les mer

Not a great day to be walking today given the light showers but it wasn't particularly prohibitive. We thought that we would do Marion's Lookout today and come back via Horse Track. While it was cloudy and drizzly it was still very beautiful and almost a little mystical especially at Marion's Lookout where you could watch the clouds pass by very quickly. After Marion's lookout we walked up the Cradle Plateau where there was so little cover that we got quite wet with the showers coming in sideways. The plateau is much prettier on a clear day as the clouds covered Barn bluff and occasionally the mountains themselves. Descending down the horse track and back to Ronny Creek to our car the best feeling was having a hot shower and a rest at our accomodation.Les mer

Today being a wet and windy day we thought we would just do Dove Lake Circuit. We started out late as it was lovely to sleep in since it was so cold and we therefore had to catch the shuttle bus up to Dove Lake. The bus was of course packed with like minded travellers.
We of course decided to do the circuit anti clockwise which is contrary to the advice given by the rangers to do this clockwise. Why we do this is the amount of climbing you have to do clockwise versus anti clockwise.Les mer

On our way around Dove Lake we came across the turn off to head up to Lake Wilks. With Kirk's encouragment we decided to head on up since neither one of us had done this track before. The track wasn't too bad but if it was any wetter it would be quite slippery. As we were climbing, we could catch glimpses of this exposed cliff with walking chains. On reaching lake Wilks there was a spectacular view over Dove Lake. From there we thought, why don't we go as high as we can to join up to the face track. I had my reservations to be honest but figured what did we have to lose? At any point we could still turn around and the weather while windy and cloudy it was only very light misty showers it wasn't enough for us to stop. So, we persisted, even stopping on the track and having our wraps and some hot tea for lunch. Before long we reached the face track and were able to walk along the mostly flat track while looking out the absolutely stunning views over Dove lake to our left with Cradle mountain to our right. It was breathtaking to be so close to what we had only seen from afar previously.Les mer

The face track eventually led us to a hiker's shelter which was a lovely blue hut surrounded by what looked almost like a fairy garden. It was also sheltered from the wind and we took a moment to enjoy the brief sunlight here before continuing our trail. While it was initially quite gentle the track soon became quite steep with more chains punched straight into stone to hold on to the only purchase you could use. There were also areas where you were quite exposed which meant often needing to crouch down so that the wind wouldn't blow us off the hills! At this point I think we were on the Lake Rodway track which you can access from Dove Lake. I definitely would not want to climb up the Lake Rodway track given how steep it is. We eventually made it down to Dove Lake with a measure of relief - I couldn't help but wonder whether we would make it to the shuttle on time. It was a lovley day, we made it to the shuttle on time and we completed a walking track on Cradle Mountain we had never done before. It was incredibly satisfying!Les mer

Last full day in Cradle. We were so tired and achy that we just did something simple - walk from Ronny Creek up to Waldheim and heindorfers forest. We had a lovely morning tea at the day hut with views out to Cradle before deciding to cut it short when it started raining. It was nice to end the day with a trip to the shop near peppers and the information centre again though with more purchases of course :)Les mer

Sister's Beach 25/3/22
25. mars 2022, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
Leaving cradle Mountain :( onto our next stop - driving north to sister's Beach to explore the Northwest. Had a brief stop at Bridge waterfalls and at the bridge waterfall farm where we had some great paddock to plate food. From there we drove to Burnie and checked out a lookout before doing a bit of shopping. Saw some lovely flowers (Dahlias) for sale on the way to our next accommodation and couldn't help myself. The accommodation is lovely and very retro. Right near the beach and hardly anyone there. Dinner was some pizzas from the local convenience store (fairly average) overlooking the ocean and watching the sun set.Les mer
