07.02 Tas: Cradle Mountain - Dove Lake

After a night in the Cradle Mountain YHA, which was our first night in a proper bed, we woke to more rain! We had been told when we collected our park pass that the car park at Dove Lake would fill up very quickly, so we got down there just after 8am!

Nathan waiting for the rain to stop! No problems parking, it was just the wind & the rain the prevented us from venturing outside!

After an hour sitting in the car we decided that we'd head out for a walk around Dove Lake!

It is also know as 'scat', and the other interesting fact is that they are cuboid shaped! How do they do that?! The other amazing thing that all the 'scat' we came across was carefully balanced on rocks & the edges of walkway steps! Very clever!?
