Cradle Mountain Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Cradle Mountain is named after the continuous mountain range that resembles a cradle. The Cradle Mountain peaks are one of the more well-known sights in the Tasmanian wilderness, and the northern end of the 161,000-hectare Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park (Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park), and the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Site Part of the area (TasmanianWildernessWorldHeritageArea). Gustav Weindorfer, a local Australian pioneer, planted a large number of King Billypine here in 1912. After more than ten years of hard work, this place has become a national park that is "open to people at any time". Now, the pioneer's dream is finally fulfilled, and at least one in four tourists from all over the world come to Tasmania to experience it. According to your own time and physical strength, choose one of the many hiking routes and stroll along the coastline at the foot of the mountain. The evergreen plants make this place full of endless imagination. And many crazy hikers will also choose to start from Cradle Mountain, walk for about a week, and end directly at Lake St. Clair.

Cradle Mountain is worth a visit, but it must take a whole day to travel more tastefully. This time, it will be opened from the camp at 9 am. First, I will go to the mural town and then to Cradle Mountain. It will be more than 14:00 in the afternoon. It will be cloudy. It will be cold immediately, it will be dark, and it will not be enough to play.
Stayed here for three days and two nights and came by car. Living in a cabin in the mountains, I ignited it myself, and it has a special flavor. The climate in the mountains is very good. When we went, it was said that there was zero degrees at night, but it should be 10 degrees when climbing the mountain, but it was just right. It's not cold or hot. The mountain is very quiet, and small animals such as wild koalas can be seen in the yard. There are many roads to go in the mountains, and we chose a road that is just half a day. Walking and patting, quiet and beautiful. In the evening, we cook our own meals in the cabin, with the ingredients brought under the mountain, the ingredients in the accommodation itself, and the guests left behind, write a note to tell us what they left, they can continue to use. When we left, we also continued to use it for the visitors behind. There is also a message book to write about the feeling of everyone living. In short, it is worth a visit!
Generally, if you have limited time, you will choose Cradle Mountain. It is also Tasmania's most famous national park, covering an area of 16,800 hectares and is listed as a World Heritage Site. The car can drive directly to the lakeside parking lot, from a distance, a calm lake lying in the middle of the mountains, like sleeping in a cradle, Cradle Mountain is named for it. Before departure, my friend said that you can experience the changes of the four seasons in Cradle Mountain. We still don't believe it. I didn't expect us to be lucky to meet! The weather at the foot of the mountain was still sunny, and our car drove to the mountainside and suddenly encountered heavy snow. You know that Australia is now summer soon, it's amazing!
Going to Cradle Mountain, you can walk up the mountain to the panoramic view of Jiuglass Bay. It is difficult to go up the mountain road. You have to use your hands and feet to go up.
