A walk to suit all age groups. For company there’s a cascading river, wombat burrows and magical old-growth rainforest. The walk will take you through buttongrass moorland before entering cool temperate rainforest along the edges of Pencil Pine Creek. Along the track are three interpretive tunnels that kids and kids at heart will find fun to crawl through!

Beautiful walk in the snow!

This is a beautifully green forested area that would be beautiful with snow! We saw lots of evidence of wombats - scat and burrows but didn't see any that day.

Overrated in my opinion, perhaps at times crowded as well, but certainly one of the easiest to access. I did it as an add-on.

Yet another lovely walk at Cradle Mountain. Since this is a short walk we added it at the end of a day when we didn't have time to fit in a bigger walk.

Visited Cradle Mountain in Winter. The walks were even more charming with the snow littered around. Still plenty of animals to spot.

Truly enchanting. I have never seen such an amazing moss forest and so green! Highly recommend. There are a number of wombat burrows so it's possible you'll see one.
