Cradle Mountain : Across Dove Lake . . .

            Cradle Mountain is a mountain in the Central Highlands region of the Australian state of Tasmania.  The mountain is situated in the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park (UNESCO World Heritage listed).  Cradle Mountain was named in 1827 by the explorer Joseph Fossey who thought it bore a remarkable similarity to a gold prospector's cradle. 

The mountain rises above the glacially formed Dove Lake, Lake Wilks and Crater Lake.

The mountain has four named summits. In order of height they are Cradle Mountain (1,545 m), Smithies Peak (1,527 m), Weindorfers Tower (1,459 m) and Little Horn (1,355 m).

We arrived at the Cradle Mountain Hotel on November 6 at about 4:45pm.  Snow started to fall.  I ventured around the outside of the hotel at 5:30 am the following morning, there was about 2 inches of snow covering our hired Subaru.  At that time there was a glimmer of hope of seeing nice snow scenes.  When we arrived at the Dove Lake Stop using the shuttle transport, it was close to 9 am.  Wind and snow were picking up pace and hard pellets welcomed me.  Visibility was low.  Across Dove Lake, most of the time only Little Horn was readily visible.  Wiendorfers Tower, Smithies Peak and Cradle Mountain were at best partially recognisable.  All in all, it was quite a surreal experience.
