Make sure to take a rain jacket as the weather is very cool and changeable at Cradle Mt. and wear comfy walking shoes.
A Sandwich Lunch wrap was provided it was made freshly on the day, along with a cake slice, Apple and bottle of water. There are also plenty of stops to purchase other snack items.
We want to thank Dale our driver and Bill or an excellent day.
He's the best bus driver I have ever had, and I'm sure the group would agree.
We wish Dale all the best.
Was very lucky with the good weather
Amazing view of the mountains and crystal clear lake
Steve and Ronnie were so obliging to help my partner spring a surprise marriage proposal at Dove Lake on my birthday! They took great photos! Thanks McDermott's for making our day so memorable.
Really enjoyed Wilhelm cottage.
Macca (driver and guide) was AMAZING, but needs to work a bit on his jokes & get his “botany” sorted
Overall, a lovely trip
We got to experience local history and amazing views, with clear skys over cradle mountain and learn the amazing history behind it becoming a heritage park and experience the story of those early pioneers.
Highly recommend the trip.
