Cradle Mountain - Marions Lookout

Panorama from Marion's Lookout. Showing Dove lake and Cradle Mountain.

Almost everyone else up here was on the way to Cradle Mountain summit. I have to confess I was feeling pretty good at this stage and was tempted to go further but glad I didn't I was a bit weary when I got back down to Dove Lake.

Crater Falls on the way up to Crater Lake. I had to take a photo as I needed a rest quite a few steps to get here.

Back down to Dove Lake.

During this walk I saw two seperate guys heading off on the overland track to Lake St Clair. The weather the last 24 hours has been miserable I hope these blokes are still dry and not cold and wet.
