Cradle Mountain
Hi Rachael...really worth doing. Very beautiful place and different in all weathers. Like all good destinations Cradle Mountain was nothing like I expected. Just don't leave it as long as we did before you take the plunge.

I walked there 20 years ago
20 years ago I visited Tasmania and I might have hiked the very trail you pictured in this photo. I enjoyed things very much in Down Under and your blogs makes memories come back. /Ake

So we have tracked down it may have been Cradle Mountain you hiked 20 years ago Ake. Does not surprise me you would choose this area as it is truly spectacular. It does surprise me if they had boardwalks back then...but maybe it doesn't. Great that my Tassie blogs bring back memories for you. Kinda one of the objectives that TB blogs are for.

So, the tasmanian devil!
The little devil looks more like a weasel than the rowdy critter we'd seen in our Road Runner cartoons. Still great to see the real one. Lovely creatures they have done there--that little pademelon was adorable, too. Excellent they put down boardwalks to protect the land from the tourists. You can also walk on these boardwalks through the swamps around New Orleans when you're there.

Tasmanian devils
These little guys are in peril Tara so their cartoon days may be limited. There is a research facility at Cradle Mountain that reports "Devil facial tumor disease (DFTD) is a debilitating cancerous sarcoma that affects 30-50% of wild Tasmanian devils. The disease is characterised by the development of ulcerated tumors around the jaws and head of the animal. The disease is fatal and an individual usually starves to death in 3-5 months." This is a new disease and it is hoped that scientists can find a cure before it is too late.

Life presents these moments worth documenting and remembering. Live in the moment and embrace all that we've been given to experience. Excellent.
