A weekend at Cradle Mountain National Park, Tasmania

Last weekend we headed for Cradle Mountain National Park, probably the most famous World Heritage Area in Tasmania (and perhaps, Australia). We stayed in a private lodge with a very special group of friends. This is just a very small capture of the scenery on Saturday, but I haven't yet mastered being able to include all the photos in an album to share on this blog site. It was cool and calm. Sunday it rained all day and washed most of the snow away. If you ever visit Tasmania, be sure to spend a couple of days at least visiting this area. The fresh air and scenery will do you a world of good.
