Not far from Launceston, Tasmania is the majestic Cradle Mountain National Park.
Our down jackets and gaiters got another work out when we spent two days hiking there.
True to Tasmanian weather, we were able to enjoy all four seasons in one day, and while the rest of Australia is welcoming Spring we found ourselves hiking in snow.
Thankfully, the thermos was filled with warming hot chocolate as the 3 degrees daytime temps were a little chilling.
The Cradle Mountain sits high in the park and it’s snow covered peaks were a joy to discover.
The Park has an amazingly diverse and unique landscape.
Our hiking took us through fields of buttongrass and ancient Pencil Pines, moss covered rainforest and alpine heathland.
What a fun way to spend the weekend!
