Lake Lilla is a small, serene alpine lake surrounded by forest and open heathland. The lake reflects the nearby peaks on calm days, creating a peaceful, photogenic spot along the Dove Lake circuit. It’s a quiet place to pause and enjoy the natural beauty away from the busier main lookouts.

Today we went stalking in Cradle Mountain National Park. We saw sooo many wombats, often very close. They are totally cute 🥰 But we were also enthusiastic about echidnas and many snow skinks (the beautiful lizards) as well as the wonderful landscape and flora.
