I have been lucky enough to work as an interpretation ranger in the lovely, glaciated landscape of Cradle Valley, in the World
Heritage listed Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Clair National Park. This park contains some of the most spectacular scenery in
Australia, as well as plagues of wombats and other fauna. Cradle Mountain (in the background) was a nunatak during the last ice
age. The ice sheet pucked off dolerite columns as it flowed off in different directions, gouging out the valley below and creating
the comparatively rounded forms of the surrounding hills.
Tasmanian Currawongs are highly intelligent birds that have learned how to open backpacks to remove the chocolate bars at the
top. Don't feed the wildlife!
