Cradle Mountain, World Heritage Area, Tasmania

Snow Gums

 


The beautiful Tasmanian snow gums (Eucalyptus coccifera) are very abundant in the alpine areas of Tasmania. This picture was take on the track to Marions Lookout, Cradle Mountain the World Heritage National Park.

 

Harsh Life


 
Snow gums have stunning colours just below their bark. Their trunks are smooth, so the weight of the snow doesn’t have a chance to stay on the bark and cause them to snap under the weight.

 

Signage to the Top of Tasmania


 
This sign points to different walks in the World Heritage National Park. This part of the track is part of the world-famous Overland Track, which starts at Ronny Creek, Cradle Mountain. It is a 6-day hike through some of Tasmania’s harshest and most stunning terrain.
