Cradle Mountain to Corinna

Our cottage in Corinna for 2 nights

Went from Stanley to Burnie and then Cradle Mountain through lovely undulating farm land and forest's.

Had a great visit to Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park on a beautiful sunny day, from the visitors centre have to

catch a hop on hop off bus which was great,  roads very narrow, driver's in communication with each other and pull off where necessary. Walked to Dove Lake which had excellent views of Cradle Mountain, lots of people walking etc. The beautiful  alpine landscape of rugged peaks the windswept moors, lakes and deep gorges in the ancient forests was well worth seeing.

Drove through Waratah, Savage River (Iron ore mining town) to Corinna on the Pieman River in the Tarkine Rainforest on the West Coast.  Very up and down the range's, last 20 odd klms not bitumen quite a good road very thankful not towing the van. Disappointed neither boat cruise on river available, very remote no phone or internet, spent today inside by heater as it's raining.  It's a historic Old town very like Donnelly river with lots of old cottages, gold mining for 3 years in late 1890s. Tomorrow taking the barge across river heading for Strahan via Zeehan.
