Cradle Mountain

And finally on to the most beautiful part of our stay, the Cradle Mountain National Park. It was actually quite a bit parkier than expected and some of us ended up wearing all of our clothes to keep warm. We did some lovely walks, short ones to see waterfalls on wonderful boardwalks, and a long one around the lake where Thea completed over 4km without being carried. We were extremely proud!

Nearby was a Tassie devil sanctuary. These creatures are dying out in the wild due to a facial cancer that actually spreads as they interact (ie fight over food, which is often). They're surprisingly cute looking up close. Not that you'd want to be in the cage with them.

Sorry some of the pics are sideways. I just can't face fixing them. Lie down next to your computer and you'll get the idea.
