We drove down through the Arthur Pieman conservation area from Arthur River. A very scenic drive that I would highly recommend. (Gravel road with some steep bits that have been sealed)

A town with a waterfall in the middle of town.

Waratah is an old tin mining town. The water fall used to be surround by stampers and tin processing plants all powered by water wheels and the water fall.

Perhaps not ancient but some old mining equipment in town.

Still some interesting old building in town.

Ann found some platypus in the pond above the falls. The best I could do was this duck family.

Named after the man who discovered the falls while prospecting for tin. His nickname was the philosopher.

The walk to this viewing platform includes 200 plus steps.

Of course goes through some more temperate rainforest.

A different view of the falls. I hope you all appreciate my lugging my tripod up and down those 200 steps.

Some bracken ferns establishing themselves amongst the fallen timber.

Turns out these falls are on the head waters of the Arthur River that were were cruising on a few days ago.

This is a old hand dug water race that used to take water from the top of the falls to the mining town of Magnet to drive ore stamper crushers there.

Our first sighting of Cradle Mountain from a lookout on the way in. Not sure I am impressed by the cloud bank moving in.

We caught the shuttle bus from the visitors centre to Dove Lake and did the Dove Lake circuit.

Cradle Mountain from the Dove Lake walk.

Not with the waters of Dove Lake in the foreground but some of the prevalent button grass.

I waded into the cold water to take this shot. Ann may have made some derogatory comments on Facebook. I too am not sure it was worth it but you have to try.

Dove Lake walk near the top of the lake.

I thought this lake circuit was flat!

Ann might not have enjoyed this section of the track she did really well.

Final shot from the Dove Lake circuit.

The board walk at Ronny Creek is a great place for wombat spotting. I thought that with daylight saving it would be 9 or 10 pm before they came out. These were out quite early in the afternoon at 3:00 pm.
