It was our last day on the mountain today.
About 2.5-3 hours of relatively easy wandering about from Ronny Creek to Crater Lake (for lunch and a cup of tea) via Wombat Pool and then back to Dove Lake for afternoon tea by the lake near the boatshed. Just another perfect day for a walk in the Wilderness. We have been so lucky with the weather.
Drop dead gorgeous view
Wildflower magic
On the boil on Crater Lake
Lunch stop at Crater Lake. We could have sold a cup of tea for about $20 at this point.
You’ve seen Selfies & Wefies, well this is a Cupateafie at Crater Lake
Wombat Pool is a pretty spot. We saw lots of wombat poo here but no wombats. It was only at the end of today’s travels, right back where we started at Ronny Creek, that we spotted one wandering across the hillside with a little one in tow.

Heaps of tadpoles in Wombat Pool. Soon to be heaps of frogs…
Diving board into one or maybe two of the lakes

Kettle on the Trangia for a cup-a-tea & cake near the boatshed on Dove Lake. Cradle Mountain in the background
Great place to open a tea house or coffee shop. Not sure it would be as easy to carry the Saeco coffee machine and electric generator.
It’s all so very scenic
Some tracks are roughly defined
Looking back at where we started – Ronny Creek carpark in the distance
This is my tree, nothin to see here, move along.
Nutrition for trees does not come easy
We love steps
Tough life for a tree but very purdy
Bonsai in the Wilderness & just under foot
Tomorrow we head for the East coast with maybe an overnight stop on the way somewhere near Bothwell. Once at the coast we hope to catch up with the Sam & Glenn for perhaps some more surfing lessons.

Bring on the surf!!! Park beach & Carlton Rivermouth are looking good! Might even trip down to Roaring Beach if swell drops enough! Bream Creek is the most awesome campsite- had Brekkie this morning with the surfer farmer & his wife! Gold!
Must be good surf! No update for a few days?
