Photograph Gallery from my Travels

	We visited Cradle Mountain in November of 2001 during a tour of Tasmania. We spent a couple of days at the north end of the Cradle Mt - Lake St Clair National Park and we were fortunate to have good weather. We walked around Dove Lake, which meets the base of the mountain. It is a fantastically scenic area and I highly recommend it to anyone. Due to its altitude (the peak is at 1545m above sea level) it should be visited in different seasons to experience its changing spirit, from autumn folliage to winter snow. I wish to return one day. Another significant attraction is the 6-8 day overland trail to Lake St Clair, for those with a little energy.

	In early Decmber we spent a few days at the highest peak on the Australian mainland (2229m), Kosciuszko National Park. Its probably the only place here where you would see snow in summer (admittedly this was early summer and the remnant patches would soon be melted away). We stayed in the camp grounds at the base of the mountain (in Jindabyne) where the Eastern Grey Kangaroo are friendly (there's a photo of them outside our cabin). The first day was clear and mainly sunny and it was fortunate we picked this to go to the summit. The next day was rain and the final day was showery. I decided not to go to the summit the first day, thinking there would be another chance. I however do not regret it as I quite enjoyed Blue Lake, probably Asutralias highest lake. I spent about an hour there and during that time didn't see another soul.
