. / A dreary day with the sun trying to peak through the clouds – still lovely though, and it is fun to meet up with people from all over the world who are visiting and traipsing around.
This is a panoramic of Cradle Valley in Tasmania, in it is,, Marion’s lookout, Dove Lake, and Cradle Mountain. The most visited place in Tasmania. / Cradle Mountain forms the northern end of the wild Cradle Mt – Lake St Clair National Park, itself a part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. The jagged contours of Cradle Mountain epitomise the feel of a wild landscape, while ancient rainforest and alpine heathlands, buttongrass and stands of colourful deciduous beech provide a range of environments to explore. Icy streams cascading out of rugged mountains, stands of ancient pines mirrored in the still waters of glacial lakes and a wealth of wildlife ensure there is always something to captivate you. The area is one of the most popular natural areas in Tasmania.
This view of the boat shed on Dove Lake has been shot a million times before so hopefully this one, with some help from masking and photoshop filters, looks a little different to all the others. Winter in Cradle Mountain National Park, Tasmania, Australia Best viewed large.

Spring 2009 / Cradle Mountain, to me, is the ultimate icon for Tasmania. / It is a Gondwanaland dreamtime full of interesting stories of the past. It is surrounded by ancient rainforests that hug the shores of Dove Lake which is situated on the north side of Cradle Mountain. / I have walked around this mountain several times a year for 19 years now and still have not discovered all it’s secrets. / The path, high up the mountain, has rocks with fossils from a time when the mountain was under the sea. It was once under ice and snow until the climate changed, the earth moved north and the tarns were carved out by the moving ice. / The mounds that surround the landscape on the way into Lake Dove are evidence of the melting glacier that dumped rock shingles that have been untouched for thousands of years. / The mounds are like bumps the size of a hills dotting the grassy plains. / I am always looking on the ground, thinking about myself and the mountain, and how I have ended up here loving every moment. Last time I was there, the mayflies came bursting out into the surrounding vegetation, such tiny creatures that will only live for a day. A memory that I always have is of a man on his tummy, looking into a magnifying glass and yelling with delight that he discovered a tiny weeny plant that had flowered on the day we arrived there. He belonged to a Tasmanian Native Plant Group and is passionate about the one day flower as he had been waiting for this moment for years. / The Cradle is a meeting point for the locals, travellers and the ancient spirits of the indigenous people who were often seen 100 years ago sitting on the rock that dominates the left side of the Lake. The last aboriginal lady was seen there sitting on this rock after travelling from the south, and never to be seen again. The sad history of the indigenous people only bring to mind the loss of most of the Tasmanian indigenous knowledge of the plants, animals and there way of life. / This place is secret to me and I will respect the time I am there and will continually learn from its environment. / So sad about climate change as already the tarns are losing water and the rainforest seems to be dieing from heat stress. http://www.apstas.com/gondwanatimeline.htm#GONDWANA

The Boathouse at Dove Lake, Cradle Mountain, Tasmania
This is growing all around the house here at Cradle Mountain, Tasmania. In spring they blossom into such dainty flowers growing on thick bushy scrub.
These Pademelons decided to join us for a BBQ the other evening.They love raw potato. / Canon 50d / Canon 18-200 is lens /
Spring time at Cradle Mountain, Tasmania is a special time. All the hardy spiky thick alpine shrubs blossom with some beautiful delicate flowers. I don’t know what this one is called. I ran out of time looking it up. I found this lovely specimen on the boardwalk between the visitor centre and ronny creek. We’ve been here for 1 1/2 years and this is one of the few walks not done till now.
It’s still out there, but we are getting very limited time to see it up close…..the silly season has started. / Canon 50d / Canon 18-55 lens /

Just a variation on a shot I have already uploaded, shot about fifteen minutes later with a twenty five second exposure, I feel it gave the pretty boring sky a lot more drama. Canon 5D MK11, 17 – 40L / at 17 mm. 2 stop ND grad.
Best viewed large This is a selection of images from my recent visit to Cradle Mountain, Tasmania. I stayed in the fabulous Cradle Mountain Lodge, and all of the creatures shown were wild and were right on my doorstep. The shots were taken with a Canon 5D and either a 100-400mm lens (wombats, pademelons, and currawong), a 24-105mm lens (landscape scene), or my 105mm macro lens (lizard feet). This composite was uploaded so that a card can be ordered as a special thankyou to a fabulous booking agent who did us a huge favour!
