AUTUMN AT CRADLE MOUNTAIN

Cradle Mountain - Lake St Clair National Park

 

Australia's only temperate natural deciduous tree turns on a dazzling display of colour for two or three weeks from about the last week in April. The deciduous beech or 'Fagus' changes colour before loosing it's leaves for winter. The result is a colour spectacle. The tree is only found in Tasmania's western highlands as well as a small but very beautiful area at Tarn Shelf near Mt Field and some surrounding areas.

 

RIGHT: The view of Dove Lake from Hanson's Peak on the Lake Rodway track.  The picture includes the Honeymoon Islands and The Ballroom Forest - part of the 2 hour Dove Lake circuit walk. Also see the Hounslow Heath page.
