OZ time... Sunday 5th February... 5pm
Left Launceston in warm sunshine this morning, but it had become cloudy by the time we reached the Cradle Mountain National Park in mid-morning.
On the way, we stopped off at Railton, famous for its topiary, there were items all over the town, see some examples below.
At the National Park, we chose to do the 2 hour Bush Walk around Dove Lake, which has great views of Cradle Mountain. Unfortunately, initially the mountain had low cloud around the summit, but we did get lucky a few times when the cloud cleared briefly to show the summit. We were also lucky that it didn't rain whilst we were walking, as it started just as we finished the walk and then continued for most of the afternoon.
We had lunch at the Park cafe, Mike loved his Ozzie Meat Pie, but not being squirted with tomato sauce as Jan tried to open an unusual form of sauce sachet!
Now relaxing at our B&B, which is an NT property and "quaint" to say the least! Our first sighting of it was scary (see below) with a mountain of steps up to it at the top of the cliff... but then we found the back road in! On arrival it was very windy here & within 30 minutes the rain started again. Hope it stops before we go out for dinner later!
