One of the places to visit when one is in Tasmania is Cradle Mountain. A mountain in the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, Tasmania, Australia. Rising to 1,545 metres above sea level it is one of the principal tourist sites in Tasmania, owing to its natural beauty.

Animals in the open
Blending with the natural environment
It was late around 5pm when we visited Cradle Mountain. It was sightly chilly yet the breeze was nice for a change. We visited the house of the founder of Cradle Mountain.

Check out the vast land
The jagged contours of Cradle Mountain epitomise the feel of a wild landscape, while ancient rainforest and alpine heathlands, buttongrass and stands of colourful deciduous beech provide a range of environments to explore. Icy streams cascading out of rugged mountains, stands of ancient pines mirrored in the still waters of glacial lakes and a wealth of wildlife ensure there is always something to captivate you. The area is one of the most popular natural areas in Tasmania.
Having the view solely to ourselves
So inviting the waters for a swim
As we were on a package tour, we didn't have a chance to take the walks around Cradle Mountain. Tasmania is one country I would love to be back to visit. The natural beauty is something I will always remember.
