I did! Thank you. Beautiful and wish I were there.

ziggypop Apr 2nd, 2022 03:43 AM

Those lakes have me wishing I could jump in.

That looks like a lot of elevation.

Thank you Adie.

smalltowngal Apr 2nd, 2022 04:13 AM

Thank you.

Lovey photos, it all looks beautiful. Love the echidna and wombats!
Thanks for taking us along.

What an beautiful and interesting walk! The echidna and wombats are so cute! How many kilometers was your walk and where was it? Thanks for taking us along!

MmePerdu Apr 2nd, 2022 08:29 AM

Just great. Thanks so much!

zebec Apr 2nd, 2022 08:38 AM

Ade, my fave shot was your first Dove Lake. And what a great walk to have at your fingertips.
Solvitur Ambulande.
I am done. The wombat

Nelson Apr 2nd, 2022 11:29 AM

Fabulous photos Ade, thanks for posting! I recognize the location and lucky you to have Cradle Mountain with wombats nearby.

(zebec, I don't mind admitting I had to look up Solvitur Ambulande. Well said.)

KayF Apr 2nd, 2022 06:32 PM

Lovely to see, thanks for sharing. The wombats made me smile :)

Bokhara2 Apr 3rd, 2022 12:58 AM

margo_oz Apr 3rd, 2022 11:19 AM

love_travel_Aus Apr 3rd, 2022 08:44 PM

Beautiful photos and thank you for sharing.
Quite amazing weather for the region.

ToucanTwo Apr 6th, 2022 03:58 PM

Lovely walk. Wish I was there!

dreamon Apr 6th, 2022 08:36 PM

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing, Adelaidean. Sometimes it's easy to forget what's here in our rush to get overseas. A friend and I had a wonderful long weekend at Phillip Island with brilliant coastal hiking, a mere two hours from home.

Thank you for sharing. Brings back great memories of our own time at Cradle Mountain a few years ago. The wombats are adorable. Hoping to return to Australia soon.

northie Apr 15th, 2022 08:06 PM

Beautiful

Paqngo Apr 16th, 2022 09:17 PM

What a beautiful walk and a great way to spend the day.. I am really impressed with the walkways. Your photos are really pretty.

This was lovely -- thank you!

In about a month we'll be flying to Australia, and your photos help feed our excitement!

Cheers,
