Well… I am dead on my feet today, so speed blogging with a couple of snaps from our Tuesday Adventure. ‘Ruby Tuesday’ will have to return next week when I am in some semblance of order!
Today was about 5 hours driving and 5 hours hiking – I am totally ready to face-plant my bed!
But we had the best day!
Only a couple of days left with my baby sister and her family, so we drove over to Cradle Mt National Park to see the sights, do some walks and indulge in a gourmet picnic (ok – it was ham and cheese sandwiches, but I upgraded it to gourmet because of the home made relish and the banana/raspberry loaf)
The weather was forecast as cold and raining – but we got cool and not raining… so yay us! 🙂
There were wombats out everywhere – ambling along munching on the vegetation
This one walked straight at me, sniffed my foot and just kept going (I hadn’t walked far by that point so sniffing my foot then didn’t make it keel over and gag or anything)
We also saw a wallaby just having a little lay down by the car park.
We did two short walks before having our picnic lunch, then did the three hour walk around Dove Lake. I love the way the boardwalks weave in and out of an ever changing environment – a mystery around every corner!
Anyway – bedtime for me! Tomorrow we have two beaches, a lighthouse, a tulip farm and a mission to find Valhalla Ice Cream!
No rest for the wicked!
Cheers!
I love Cradle Mountain! It reminded me of Jurassic Park…..I am glad it has become a world heritage site and is protected. It is a wonderful place to camp too. You just never know what you are going to see there.
Sleep fast!
It is so beautiful… We have never camped up there – just the day trips. And you are right… never know what you might see! I’d love to do the 6 day Overland track. One day!!
oooo yes – slept like the dead!
Love your posts, keep them coming .?
As the days improve, so much more is happening to share!! Thanks Aunty Helen!! xx
