Bush Walking in Tasmania

Paul and I arrived in Hobart with a very ambitious and packed 3 day schedule. Unfortunately, we landed amid rain and fog, so had to make some quick recalculations! We spent the first morning in Hobart, then traveled to the east coast and the highly anticipated Wineglass Bay. Unfortunately, there too we were met with heavy rain and thick fog, so abandoned our planned hour-long hike and settled for a few quick coastal lookouts, which were still lovely. Luckily, Cradle Mountain National Park was much kinder to us. During our 24 hour stay, we saw at least 4 wombats and countless wallabies, including the cutest little mini ones! We also squeezed in a scenic trek our second afternoon and a true bush-walk our last morning. As we were making our way up to the summit of Marion's Lookout, climbing up steep steps and uneven rock face, I was reminded of the time we drove up Mount Washington and took a picture at the summit in our flip-flops! We actually earned this picture!
 Here's the proof we did it the honest way (and briefly experienced sunny skies!) Jenn
