Working to live, not living to work! Adventures achieved on days off and holidays.

 Very excited today, especially Naarah, as going to Cradle Mountain was the trigger for booking the trip in the first place. Enjoyed the drive, lovely views, and watched the temperature drop as we gained altitude. Arriving early we bought our bus pass and caught it in to do some of the shorter walks.
