The highlands of Tasmania are fascinating, the Western Tiers lead you to a large plateau. The first time we ascended to this part of the island the cloud came down to road level and we could hardly see the road edge so we crept back to lower ground.

Later ,we were able to make it to Cradle Mountain, we were taken on this occasion by some long time friends in Christ who have moved to the island from Western Australia. There we were in snow, the wind was biting and such a change from the warmer valleys.  The picture above shows Cradle Mountain emerging from behind the foreground.
