Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park is part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, accessible from Sheffield in the north and Derwent Bridge in the south. Lake St Clair is one of the largest lakes in Tasmania, with great views of Cradle Mountain’s recognisable ridges. Rugged, snow-topped mountains are surrounded by waterfalls, moss-covered trees, grass meadows and rock pools as far as the eye can see. Cradle Valley contains historical Aboriginal sites that can be explored via numerous hiking tracks and is home to an array of indigenous wildlife species, including platypus, echidna, Tasmanian devils and quolls.
