Cradle Mountain Tours
Magnificent Cradle Mountain is at the northern end of the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park in Tasmania. Part of the Tasmanian World Heritage Listed Wilderness Area, this seemingly untamed landscape is a wild assortment of craggy outcrops, ancient pines, streams of icy water and glacial lakes.
Renowned for its rugged outlook and captivating scenery, Cradle Mountain is the set off point for the magnificent six day Overland Track walk that winds through the mountainous terrain for 65 kilometres and showcases the best of the Tasmanian wilderness area. Numerous other walking tracks with varying degrees of difficulty include overnight walks in the Cradle area, the Dove Lake Loop Track, the Enchanted Walk, the Visitor Centre Rainforest Walk and the Weindorfers Forest Walk. Short walks, day walks and ranger led activities – suitable for both children and adults – are wonderful ways to learn about the area, which has an ancient cultural heritage.
Cradle Mountain has a seemingly endless display of birdlife, from honeyeaters and wattlebirds, to robins, swifts, sea eagles, cockatoos, parrots and goshawks; the list is endless and a paradise for bird lovers. Equally fascinating, the Cradle Mountain area has numerous species of reptiles and frogs – many of whom can be seen sunning themselves on rocks on warmer days.
A visit to Cradle Mountain is an unforgettable experience. With a magic carpet of diverse vegetation, set against panoramic vistas of ancient untamed land and replete with an exotic array of ancient animals and landforms, you will want to return to this magnificent country time and again.
