Tasmania is easily the most beautiful state in Australia. And its biggest attraction, Dove lake in front of Cradle mountain, has been a top three hike for me by a distance in a year of travel.
Pointed mountains tower over the lake. The scenery here is so fairytale-like, I imagine myself on a set of Lord Of The Rings.

The scenery itself also turns like a leaf from a tree at every turn. Steppes, rocky landscapes, forests, swamps, I feast my eyes. The little hut that stands mysteriously at the edge of the lake still raises the most questions. Is it for boats? Shelter?
On top of the mountains, I see people poking through the mystical mist, engaged in the much longer multi-day hike. I would actually like to do that too... I will come back here someday!
