Cradle Mountain is one of Tasmania’s most recognisable landmarks, sitting within the Cradle Mountain–Lake St Clair National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Area known for its striking alpine scenery. The area is the starting point of the Overland Track, but it also offers plenty of shorter walks such as the Dove Lake Circuit. Native wildlife is everywhere, from wombats grazing beside the paths to the elusive Tasmanian devil. It’s a place where geology, ecology and dramatic terrain come together in a truly unique environment.
