Lake Barrington to Cradle Mountain

Snow still on top of Cradle Mountain

There are so many  beautiful places in the world and by golly this has to be one of them.  This one is worth a visit if you have never been to Cradle Mountain.  It is not the mountain that is so spectacular - I've seen better - but it is the beauty of the lake surrounded by the mountain and the other ridges and how clean and pristine this area is. Thank goodness this is a UNESCO protected site and a National Park so that this can be preserved for our children.  The beauty was breathtaking and to be able to walk around Dove Lake with Paul and Alex was the icing on the cake.  There are many other walks to do around the Cradle Mountain area, but alas I wish I was fitter.  There is even an overland route that takes 7 days to do.  I wish I could do this with you Sandra (if you are reading this). After Kokoda, this should be a walk in the park for you.

Relaxing

Apparently it rains 6 days out of 10 at Cradle Valley.  How lucky were we to get there on a Sunny day.
