17 Dec 2015 - Tasmania Day 4: Dove Lake Circuit Walk at Cradle Mountain

I was glad that we chose to take the shuttle to Dove Lake instead of driving on our own because the road was windy and narrow.  At several points, only one vehicle can pass through so one must be extra careful of oncoming traffic.  The shuttle ride was quite enjoyable as the driver acts as a guide as well.
It was about 1 pm when we reached Dove Lake.  Jerlene and Javier suddenly volunteered to pose for a photo shot with Cradle Mountain at the background.

We took a wefie before embarking on the walk.  As the hot weather was killing, we decided to just walk to the popular boat shed instead of taking the 3 hrs full circuit walk around the lake.

It took us about 15 mins walk from the car park to the boat shed.

The surrounding was beautiful.  If it's not because of the hot weather, we could probably spent half a day to slowly walk around the lake.

Let's take another wefie with the boat shed.

Jerlene and Javier were having fun throwing small pebbles into the lake.

We took a 20 mins rest at the boat shed before continuing further to another lookout.

Here's the majestic Cradle Mountain.

At this point, we decided to walk back to the car park.

We left Dove Lake at about 3:30pm.  Farewell, Cradle Mountain!
