Oops - wonderFUL
places. If you like mountains as much as i do, then there are a few glorious drives in the central highlands. Take binoculars for all the huge vistas you will find.
One is the
Lake Highway from
Miena alongside the Great
Lake, to Golden Valley (on the way to
Deloraine). Stop and take the short walk at Pine
Lake and feel the mountain air.
Another is the Cradle Development Road from Daisy Dell (near
Cradle Mountain) to the Murchison Highway. Stop on the roadside at the pass and take the short walk up to the peak for a vista in all directions.
Of course go to
Cradle Mountain as soon as you get a clear day; park at one of the early car parks and take the free bus (tickets from tourist centre), or walk all or any of the sections down to
Dove Lake to take the circuit walk around the
lake.
Another beauty is the drive from around Cressy, up the Western Tiers via Poatina. You can stop at a large flat area where the adit to service the water tunnel to the Poatina power station is, near the top. It would be a spectacular place to
camp. This goes on to the Great
Lake and Arthurs
Lake.
There are many many other amazing and beautiful
places. We certainly didn't see all of them in our 7 weeks.
