Cradle Mt - Lake St Clair National Park

LAKE RODWAY TRACK

Artist's Pool in summer.  About an hour and a half walk from the Dove Lake car park.

The Lake Rodway  walk commences at the Dove Lake car park.   The track steadily inclines from the start and it becomes apparent why the walk is regarded as one of the prettiest in Australia - particularly in Autumn with the deciduous beech adding its rustic tones to the landscape.

The view from below the Hanson's Peak climb.  The track by Lake Hanson is longer but much easier.

Be warned.  The climb up Hanson's Peak is steep and relatively difficult.  There is an alternative route via Twisted Lakes.  A fairly steep climb is also encountered.  The walk back to Hanson's Peak from the southern side is a little easier.  The view is well worth the climb.

Scott-Kilvert memorial hut - public shelter.  The hut includes a pot belly stove but no bedding.  There is a bush toilet nearby.  Again be warned.  The hut was built in memory of two young students who perished here in adverse weather conditions.  Be prepared for any conditions.
