Our next adventure was to take us to Cradle Mountain but on arrival the weather was bad and as our main plan was to walk Dove Lake we decided to continue on South to Stahan and return to Cradle Mountain later in our trip hoping to catch good weather.
Just a tip if you do this trip to pre-book accommodation for Stahan. Even the caravan sites with power along with their many cabins were all booked out and we were lucky to manage to get the last tent site for our Trayon but no power sites available, in the long run this turned out to be a blessing as it encouraged us to try more free camping using our solar panels and pop up shower.
This is a link to book if you plan to take the cruise.
Gordon River Cruise
We opted instead to go to the Theatre and see 'The Ship That Never Was' a play that has a cast of 2 plus people selected from the audience to take part in the play. It was great and has playing since 1993.Runs from Sept to May each year.

Strahan
The main tourist attraction at Stahan was the river cruise on the Gordon River. Due to bad weather, we decided not to do this cruise but the people we spoke to that did it said it was so scenic and fun.This is a link to book if you plan to take the cruise.

Lake St Claire
On the South Side of Cradle Mountain
Camped at Lake St Claire it was cold and damp but we stayed nice and warm and dry in
our Trayon.
We stayed 3 nights and did some really good walks here.
Russel Falls Mt Field
More walking tracks to keep us happy :-)
This was a great walk and challenging with a lot of stairs through the walk. Check out the first pic for Russell Falls to see the track.
