Hi y'all... greetings from Cradle Mountain national park in Tasmania.. Just to catch up we've had a couple of days in Lauceston where we found a beautiful gorge with an outdoor swimming pool and went Handgliding !! then onto Davenport where we treated ourselves to a luxuary cabin complete with Spa Pool - not bad for smelly backpakers .... Cradle Mountain is a really beautiful place as you can see from the pictures - we've been really lucky with the...
