Finish the evening perhaps in the guest lounge, curled up with a hot drink marvelling at the expansive views across the valley to Cradle Mountain. DAY 3 Cradle Mountain National Park Have your camera re-loaded as you discover wonderful Cradle Mountain National Park; perhaps take a stroll or brisk walk along Dove Lake; see temperate rainforest and in autumn, see the feast of colour presented by the endemic beech trees!
At the foot of Cradle Mountain, Dove Lake offers perfect pictures and fantastic views; see craggy peaks through Ballroom Forest, passing cascading streams, leatherwoods, sassafras trees, pandanis and beautiful myrtles and when the lake is calm, perfect reflections of Cradle Mountain. Take the circuit trail around Crater Lake or a boardwalk through the Cradle Valley. Learn of the history of Cradle Mountain National Park; visit pretty Waldheim, the wooden Austrian-style chalet, set alongside a mountain stream built by Gustav Weindorfer, the 'father' of the Cradle Mountain National Park.
Perhaps sight a wombat or two, wallaby, pademelon and currawong and look out for possums in the delightful wilderness. See waterfalls tumbling majestically over the glacial landscape. Perhaps end the day sharing experiences with like minded travellers in the lounge.

Tasmania is breathtaking in every season, but given its cool climate appeal it is the ultimate winter destination.
A self-drive holiday around Tasmania is rewarding at any time of year. With quieter roads and fewer visitors at tourist hot spots, the winter months are a great time to explore this special state.
With a little forward planning and local knowledge, your driving experience will be pleasant and trouble-free. In most, you will be able to use alternate routes to avoid slippery roads. Here are some ways to make sure you stay safe if you do find yourself driving in the snow in Tasmania. We are very excited to be refurbishing Grey Gum and Quoll's restaurants as well as Brushtails Bar this winter. The refurbishment is another step towards Cradle Mountain Hotel becoming your on-mountain experience centre for all-day dining and our magnificent Wilderness Gallery as well as a restful night in our accommodation after exploring the beautiful surrounds.
Cradle Mountain truly comes into its own at winter time. Tasmania becomes a winter wonderland in July and there is no better base for exploring this island state than Cradle Mountain. With wonderfully crisp air and no crowds, you will be able to enjoy the rugged beauty of the area highlighted with sprinkles of snowfall.
There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy brisk walks and sample the best of Tasmanian produce and festivities. Ronny Creek was one of my favourite areas and during my time in the National Park, I made sure to incorporate it into my walking routes every day.
The torrential rain had turned the buttongrass moorland into a raging floodplain, with hundreds of streams rushing along past and underneath the boardwalk. This made things a lot more interesting and between spotting wombats, I would also watch the water in amazement. When you stay at Cradle Mountain Hotel, be sure to join the animal spotting tour one night. Our bus picked us up from our accommodation one cold, dark, wet evening and began its short journey over to Devils Cradle, the Tasmanian devil sanctuary.
On the way, our driver shone his huge spotlight out of his window, searching high and low for signs of life. For a taste of seasonal, local produce whipped up into a carefully thought out menu, visit Grey Gum restaurant at Cradle Mountain Hotel. The dining area is cosy yet spacious, with a large roaring fire and veranda forest views as its two focal points.
As I made my way into the warmth of the gift shop one morning, I sensed the rustic vibes I had been feeling throughout the hotel, following closely at my heels. As a traveller, I was very fortunate to find myself in Tasmania for autumn. The landscape becomes a feast for the eyes, spilling yellows, oranges and deep reds like paint, across an already perfect canvass. Autumn is the time in particular, when photographers and nature lovers get incredibly excited about the deciduous beech tree, best known as fagus, and I wanted to find out what all the fuss was about.
This karst cave system contains more than caves, some of which have been developed with walkways and steps.
However, this tour allows you to appreciate the magical beauty of smaller caves that are pure and untouched. You will certainly find yourself wiggling through spaces that you never imagined possible.
Many visitors pass through Sheffield on the midland highway to Cradle Mountain; however, this town, located in the picturesque foothills of Mount Roland, is a worthy destination in its own right. As you drive through the streets, it is impossible to miss the huge paintings which decorate the walls, giving this place its title — The Town of Murals.
From Cradle Mountain, it is a ninety-minute drive through forest and mountain landscapes to the tiny town of Mole Creek. For those seeking a soft adventure with a difference, the caves here will be a holiday highlight.
The pace is relaxing with all fitness levels catered for, so you only need a sturdy pair of shoes and a warm jacket to enjoy these dazzling limestone formations. Cradle Mountain is an iconic image of Tasmania.

You will have the opportunity to see breathtaking views from a different angle and hark back to the days of early European settlers who had to cut tracks for horses and carts to reach this remote wilderness.
Planning the perfect proposal can take a lot of time and cause undue stress. Perhaps your biggest decision is finding the right location. Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Clair National Park in central Tasmania is breathtaking at any time of year with its stunning views of Mt. Osser, tranquil lakes, waterfalls, rainforest and wildlife. This idyllic setting provides the ultimate backdrop to begin a lifetime of memories.
Although there are thousands of them in the wild, it is rare to see one in its natural habitat.

The tours on offer have various levels of difficulty giving everyone the chance to see the beauty of this area from a unique perspective. Clair National Park is an incredible destination at any time of the year, but an autumn visit will allow you to experience a unique event.
