Woke to clear blue skies this morning so decided it was a good day for a run to Cradle Mountain. Went through some interesting small towns. Railton's claim to fame is topiary but nothing spotted that was worth a photo. Sheffield is known for it's murals. Any flat space has been decorated quite expertly. The chap with the alpaca was making good pocket money from posing for tourist photos.
After Sheffield the road became very mountainous with hair pin bends and little opportunity to pass. I was glad Rosemary was driving as she has a better head for heights. We switched to mini buses at the start of the national park - saves traffic and is better for the environment. When we got to Dove Lake we were pretty disappointed with the vista. Quite unimpressive but I guess that is alpine vegetation for you. Cost us $56 but that gives us a 2 month Natnl Parks permit.
We have decided to stay 2 more nights and move on Monday heading west from here.
