Day 23. Cradle Mountain National Park, Tasmania



The sunshine returned with knobs on today, so we dust off the old walking boots and complete a not-so-quick circuit of Dove Lake.

With Cradle Mountain forming a dramatic backdrop and the colours of the water changing with each passing hour it makes for a fantastic hike.

Towards the end of the afternoon we spot something large shuffling about in the undergrowth. Like a pygmy hippo with hair, it has the comical gait of something that’s way too heavy for its legs.

WOMBAT! Screams Wend.

And I think she was probably right.
