Day 245 -246 Cradle Mountain

I had the great pleasure of taking Stephen up to Cradle Mountain...I had explained how glorious it is,but still I do not think he believed me, until he got there...."Is this were the Almighty was born".
Having said that we had arrived late in the day, onto an unpowered site that was only big enough for a large tent or small mobile home, certainly not enough room for a Toby and Turtle....we had had a leak in the hatch in the lounge area, it snowed on the Cradle that night and I slept with the bogy man (Stephen in a beanie in bed)!!!!!!!!!
The walk around Dove Lake was a lot wetter than the last time that I did it, so a lot of the waterfalls were in full swing...still a very beautiful area, that takes your breath away.
This is the old Boat Shed, not really used any more these days, although you can still hire canoes and go round the lake. (What a difference  a day makes, check out next posting.)
As you can see...bloody freezing! But did we enjoy, of course, it was brilliant, even if I was a little sore the next day!
