Cradle Mountain - Lake St Claire National Park - hiking & Sheffield - town of murals

Day three: Cradle Mountain to Launceston




 We journey to 950m above sea level to the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Claire National Park. We share some local knowledge and interpretation of the landscape to help you choose a walk that will enhance your experience here. With an extensive range of tracks, you will be able to take it easy with a stroll around Dove Lake and one of the many boardwalks or perhaps challenge yourself with a hike to Marion’s Lookout. A short drive to Sheffield, the ‘town of murals’, before continuing onto Launceston, Australia’s third oldest city.
Overnight: Launceston (Breakfast)


What this trip means to me?
Cradle Mountain - finally some hiking
Sheffield - beautiful paitings everywhere, eating sweet fudge
Launceston - eating wallaby pizza, raining, morning walk to Cataract Gorge Reserve

Did you know that
Cradle Mountain
- beginning of famous Overland Track
- many walking trails
- the park is part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area 

 Sheffield
 - it became a tourist attraction thanks to paitings which are everywhere - houses, walls, bus stops etc.
