We headed off to Cradle Mountain via Wynyard to fuel up.
Most cars stopped at Yolla for Morning tea and again to have a short walk and stretch our legs at Hellyers Gorge. A lot of up and down for the old cars but all made it safely to Cradle Mountain Hotel.
The variety of walks was amazing and there were groups doing all sorts of things. Some managed to get the Dove Lake Circuit in before the last shuttle bus returned to the car park. Others coooeeed to friends visible across the lake. The weather was perfect for walking and there should be some good photos returning home with the group.
Dinner and then off to the "Devils @ Cradle". Those little critters are very savage and vicious but very entertaining. We watched the handler feed them their dinner and saw some little babies as well. There is a lot of research into breeding out that terrible cancer that is killing so many devils. I didn't realise that it is a contagious cancer - not usual at all, and they spend so much time fighting for food that you can see why it spreads so quickly.
The quolls were very cute, but they are carniverous as well, so, watch your fingers!
A very big day but lots of fun for all.
