A chance to dream

Tasmania, a world heritage place

After a perilous hike around Cradle Mountain we stopped for a break, despite horrific conditions a group of hikers including myself made it around to see the summit of Cradle Mountain in front of us. With the mist just covering Little Horn, I decided to grab my camera and get a shot, this shot just gave a sense of not only why we were there, but the conditions we all faced that day on the hike.

I'd heard and seen so many shots of Liffey falls, then when I finally got to see this magical falls I knew I was going to see something special. It didn't disappoint! I wanted to capture the whole of this magical falls, so I trudged in the water with tripod and camera in hand, and so perilously walked across. A photo can only describe the majesty of this place, and the only way to describe is for you to be here.

After hiking for a couple a couple of hours in blistering winds and rain we come to a stop. We stop at Marion's lookout which is overlooking dove lake. Once up there I am taken to a special spot, where I am then shown a remarkable view! Closes to me is the Tanglefoot Beech (Nothofagus gunnii), this remarkable little tree is the only alpine deciduous tree, which in itself makes it more special. This tree encapsulates sheer beauty, and there adds even more an emotional feeling to it.
I was in awe of the beauty of the flora, but was even more moved by what I was to see next. Looking over dove from a high altitude, was nothing short of spectacular, and I was in sheer awe looking down. After what was a long hike, it was worth stopping, getting close to the edge, and looking over something that is so beautiful and pure.
