Cradle Mountain - Lake St Clair National Park
During the Escape2 Adventure, Julia and I managed to fit in a hike up Cradle Mountain, and despite rough weather predictions were amazed to enjoy one of the most calm, sunny and picturesque days hiking around the lake and up almost to the peak, although dangerous snow prevented us from attempting the last section to the summit.

Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, Tasmania
Cradle Mountain-Lake Saint Clair National Park is located in the Central Highlands of Tasmania, the island state of Australia. This park has two main attractions - Cradle Mountain making up the north of the park, with Lake Saint Clair in the south.
Gustav Weindorfer first visited Cradle Mountain in 1910 and really liked it. He purchased some land and built by 1912 a chalet for guests. In 1935 the Overland 80 km track was created and rangers guided tours along it.
Cradle Mountain-Lake Saint Clair National Park has many mountains and spectacular lakes. Mountains which have made this national park famous include Cradle Mountain. Dove Lake and Lake Saint Clair are truly breathtaking. There are many short walks to walk and some long walks. Each of these walks is a fascinating experience.
Padmelons, Bennett's wallabies, wombats and possums are some of the animals you will meet in this park. Watch out for the Currawongs (the look like ravens), who have learnt to unzip packs. Even if they can't get to your food, they can peck holes in things through your pack. Feeding animals is strictly prohibited in Cradle Mountain-Lake Saint Clair National Park. Fines will be imposed if you are caught feeding animals. Park rangers are patrolling the park. Do not risk getting fined. Fines will be in large amounts.
The climate here in Cradle Mountain-Lake Saint Clair National Park is Very unpredictable and can change extremely rapidly. In this part of Tasmania, it rains 9 out of 10 days a year, so fully equip yourself with gear for wet weather. The temperature is always colder than other parts of Tasmania, although it is not far south. Precipitation here is high because of the large number of trees. It could be raining for 5 minutes, and then it is suddenly sunny. Rain here is very light, like little flakes of water. Bring a raincoat instead of an umbrella, because it is extremely windy and you do not want to risk spoiling your brolly. Get ready for freak weather - including snow in summer.

Beautiful Cradle Mountain and Dove lake- Lake St Clair National Park, Tasmania
Beginner's guide to the Cradle Mountain's hiking trails in Tasmania
This video will help those who want to hike in the Cradle Mountain National Park in Tasmania and are wondering which hiking trails are worth it and will match their abilities. Regardless of which one you choose, you can't go wrong because the scenery of Cradle Mountain is so beautiful. It is the jewel of Tasmania.
We started with the Overland Track and passed Crater Lake on our way up to Marions Lookout, which offers some of the most beautiful views of Crade Mountain. We then passed Wombat Pool on our way down to Dove Lake. Dove Lake offers the easiest hiking trails of the Cradle Mountain National Park but still offer great views and great picture taking opportunities.
