It was time to meet up with the Kelly Family again and of course you can't possibly leave Tasmania without visiting the world famous Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park located in Tasmania's World Heritage area. This was my third visit but it never ceases to fill me with awe.
Today the area is a model of an accessible wilderness region. There are numerous walking huts and a wide range of day and overnight walks through the mountains. A short coach trip takes you to the edge of Dove Lake (and you can be dropped off at various walks along the way) which lies in the shadow of Cradle Mountain.We were fortunate to be here during some of the warmest weather this summer and so Charli & Ashley had great fun splashing in the shallows of Dove Lake. Trent got into the swing of things as well and showed off his prowess at stone skimming.
We walked to the picturesque 1940's wooden Boathouse and enjoyed a refreshing drink and picnic in it's very welcome shade.
