Back to nature

PORT SORELL Yesterday we left Launceston and came here, on the way called into Westbury and looked at the photo studio of John Temple he has fabulous photos of Tasmania. The caravan park is next to the beach, very quiet and run by The Lions. CRADLE MOUNTAIN Today we visited the Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park, you park your car by the transit centre which is a 20 minute drive from the Dove Lake at the base of Cradle Mountain, they then run a shuttle bus every 10 minutes, with some stops along they way to do the various walks. A great system as it keeps a lot of vehicles off the narrow windy road. It was overcast but not cold so can't complain. We did several of the walks so will sleep well tonight.
WHERE ARE THE GOBLINS? You have to take your hat off to the Parks and Wildlife service as the National parks here are brilliant. This was the boardwalk on one of the walks today, you just expect to see goblins along the way, tempted to come back at night and set up a few garden gnomes as they would look right at home.
