A walk round Dove Lake, Cradle Mountain, Tasmania

Tweet

Tonight my husband and I are in Latrobe, Tasmania after arriving two days ago on the ferry from Melbourne, mainland Australia. We’ve had an interesting few days here. We found a free campsite for two nights but tonight we have booked into a ‘proper’ campsite. I’ve washed and dried all our accumulated laundry and now we’re charging up everything that needs to be charged – camera batteries, computer batteries, etc. Tomorrow we move on to Sassafras and from about 1pm on, we’ll be busy taking photographs at a horse endurance ride. We’ll take photos in the vetting ring then on Saturday we’ll find a vantage spot to photograph the riders out on the track. We’ve bought some extra warm clothes here as it is pretty cold. Much colder than we’re used to but not ‘cold’ cold like it can be in some other countries. On Wednesday we walked round Dove Lake which is just below Cradle Mountain. It was a lovely sunny day so we were extremely lucky with the weather. The walk was a bit over 6 kilometres and took us nearly three hours. There were a lot of steps along the way but the scenery was incredible. The photo is of the lake. It’s hard to know which photo to put up but here’s one to start with, taken at the start of the walk.
