Day 1: Cradle Mountain

Departing Launceston and travel through the scenic Meander Valley Highway and follow the Great Western Tiers to visit the friendly rural town of Sheffield featuring more than 140 murals which depict the pioneering history and character of the Cradle Mountain region and it’s intriguing past.

The walk is around 1 hour in duration with the option to walk the entire board walk which is an additional 1.5 hours if required. You will experience the amazing views across Dove Lake to the jagged dolerite peaks of Cradle Mt, wander through the ancient King Billy Pine Forest at Waldheim Chalet and enjoy a short rainforest walk to Pencil Falls.

A light lunch is provided and a selection of a healthy spread of fresh rolls, wraps and local salad fillings and cheeses.
