Straham to Cradle Mountain

After an early bearkfast the day begun like many. With a walk to a waterfall.

This was followed with a trip to some sand Dunes in Henty. Where we found a crowd of chinese huddled around something in the carpark. But as it was heavly raining we sheltered in the car until it stopped and then went to investigate. It was a large bumble bee.

After lunch it was time for a 3 hour walk to the largest waterfall in Tasmania (Montezuma Falls). Which involved walking along an old train track, passing bridges that were over 100 years old and walking across a replacement bridge to see the fall impact of the waterfall. The males in the party managed a trip down one of the many mining shaft.

We arrive at Cradle mountain to find that we have cabins with spa bath and a log burner in the bedroom. It was a dream. So after a tasty meal in the bar. It was time to relax in the spa bath and enjoy a complementary glass of port in front of our bedroom log burner.

Roaring, cosy fire
