Cradle Mountain-night tour

We had an excellent night spotlighting. So many animals. We kicked off with a wombat in at the visitors centre. Gosh, has this place changed. When we were here on our honeymoon, we just drove down to Lake Dove. Signed the hikers book and took off for the day. Now it's shuttle buses, cafes and a huge visitor centre with a massive car park.

We spotted heaps of wombats, brush tail possums, Bennett's wallabies, and Pademelons. But the icing on the cake had to be seeing an Eastern Quoll. The first time we have ever seen one in the wild.
