The drive there was incredible to. First we saw a triple rainbow, I didn't even know they existed. But there it was, short and very wide. The colours became more intense before it faded away.
We drove through frosted forest sparkling in the sun. The day was picture perfect, sunny and blue skies. Seeing the reflection of Cradle Mountain in Dove lad was so clear and spectcular. The vegetation up there is so different from what I am used to seeing in Australia.
We went wombat spotting in broad daylight and saw 14. A couple were so close we could have touched them. They were incredibly placid and din't care that we were so near to them.
After the wombats we went to check out 'Waldheim', the very first guest house to be built in 1921 near Cradle Mountain by an Austrian man and his wife, Gustav and Kate Weindorfer. The couple helped to preserve Cradle Mountain National Park. 'Waldheim' meaning forest home was a lovely wood house that looked like it belonged in Austria. Moss covered trees and an old wooden bride and steps made the place look like it was out of a storybook.
God must have taken a lot of pleasure in creating Cradle Mountain and it's surrounds. I'm sure He took great pleasure in us enjoying it today as well.
