Cradle Mountain Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Cradle Mountain is named after the continuous mountain range that resembles a cradle. The Cradle Mountain peaks are one of the more well-known sights in the Tasmanian wilderness, and the northern end of the 161,000-hectare Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park (Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park), and the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Site Part of the area (TasmanianWildernessWorldHeritageArea). Gustav Weindorfer, a local Australian pioneer, planted a large number of King Billypine here in 1912. After more than ten years of hard work, this place has become a national park that is "open to people at any time". Now, the pioneer's dream is finally fulfilled, and at least one in four tourists from all over the world come to Tasmania to experience it. According to your own time and physical strength, choose one of the many hiking routes and stroll along the coastline at the foot of the mountain. The evergreen plants make this place full of endless imagination. And many crazy hikers will also choose to start from Cradle Mountain, walk for about a week, and end directly at Lake St. Clair.

Cradle Mountain is worth a visit, but it must take a whole day to travel more tastefully. This time, it will be opened from the camp at 9 am. First, I will go to the mural town and then to Cradle Mountain. It will be more than 14:00 in the afternoon. It will be cloudy. It will be cold immediately, it will be dark, and it will not be enough to play.
Found in 1827 by adventurer Joseph Fossey, its shape is similar to the cradle, so it is named. The nearly 200-year-old Cradle Mountain is listed as a World Heritage Site. Visit the calm lake in the lake, you can see the reflection of Cradle Mountain, with a well-planned walk around the lake, and walk around the lake for about an hour.
Going to Cradle Mountain, you can walk up the mountain to the panoramic view of Jiuglass Bay. It is difficult to go up the mountain road. You have to use your hands and feet to go up.
On the afternoon of the first day, I took a walk along Dove Lake without leaving much influence. The next day, before dawn, we came to the lake. The temperature was 2 degrees below zero, but the Cradle Mountain was reflected on the quiet lake. It was beautiful. Then I walked down the Marion lookout trail, took a look at Pigeon Lake from a high place, and challenged Cradle Mountain and successfully climbed the top. It was so beautiful that it deserved to be Tasmania's business card.
