Cradle Mountain Day 1

Sunday, 10 January 2021

I haven't felt very well all week and my outlook calendar keeps popping up reminders of the NZ trip that we most definitely aren't on at the moment.  So the randomish re-booking I made months ago for 2 nights at the Waldheim Cabins in January came at the perfect moment.   

We had no real goal or mission apart from a weekend away so we were able to take our time on our way up and stop at all the places we usually drive past. 

We took the Highland Lakes road, so first up was the Steppes Scuptures. 

Then we did the 20 minute Great walk to Pine Lake (which Jett and did in 2016). It was as delightful as I remembered.

Then we pushed on to Liffey Falls - again somewhere that Jett and I visited on our road trip - it was nice to show them to Jon and Zali this time

Then finally we reached Cradle Mountain. The kids were happy to play card games in the cabin when we got there, but Jon and I went out for a stroll on the boardwalk.

After dinner and hot chocolates we went out to spot some more wombats and check out the sunset. It was a fantastic day.
