It was a Gateaux outer shell with hoodie, Kathmandu jumper , long sleeve Mountain Designs thermal shirt, Kathmandu woollen t-shirt, Mac-Pac thermal singlet, Decathlon rain pants, Kathmandu long pants and thermal long undies, beanie and buff kinda day today. P.S. with two pair of socks and the new boots….that rock.
Yes…I actually sweated on the climb into the mountain and had to strip off a few layers. It’s all in the photos today. We are tired; we were restricted to available open walks due to the extreme weather, but we are happy with what we saw.
Shuttle bus to Cradle Mountain. Not allowed to take your car. 
The start of the Overland Track 
Spotted in the distance. Wombat. 
He just kept walking closer. 
Then he came right up to us and asked for a cup of tea…perhaps he didn’t. 
Reminds me of the Moors in Scotland 
Magical 
Loved the bridge. 
Wild flowers blooming every where. 
Lovely tiny flowers. 
Vivid colours 
Great variety of tracks 
The moss in this rainforest 
More thick moss 
Wonderland 
This waterfall had around 4 tiers this size 
Higher country 
Sheer rock faces 
Boat shed on the Crater Lake 
The gusts of wind bring the ‘tide’ up and down about one metre 
Lunch in the boat shed. Escaping the wind 
Thick moss on the trees 
Waldheim Cabin. 
Pioneer Cabin…Gustav Weindorfer…man responsible for the area being a National Park 
Unfortunate signs of yesterday’s high winds. 
Towards a coffee – we ended by walking Snake Hill.
