Places in Tasmanian Wilderness
Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park
The Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Tasmania, represents the island's unspoiled wilderness. Here you'll encounter an alpine landscape of rugged peaks, clear glacial lakes, and ancient rainforests. Iconic are Cradle Mountain and the picturesque Dove Lake, whose shores you can hike along on the popular Dove Lake Circuit. The park also serves as the starting or ending point for the challenging Overland Track, a multi-day hike through pristine nature. Look out for endemic wildlife like Wombats, Platypuses, and Tasmanian Devils, which are native here. For extended hikes and the best weather conditions, the Tasmanian summer from December to February is recommended. Plan enough time, as mountain weather conditions can change rapidly.
