Zok and I took two new guests to Cradle Mountain. The experience was different than the time before. I could see how a person would return to Cradle Mountain year after year. This year we got better weather, on New Years Eve, we watched lightning bolts hit the horizon in bolt shape, or light up the sky as far as our eyes could see, and I for one, enjoyed this more than fireworks.
The next day was bright and sunny yet not too hot for our walks.
Our guests are not great walkers so we did some of the short walks and one longer one ourselves after lunch.
I did learn that 'warning trail not maintained' translates to 'vague notion of a trail' or 'the great hunt for trail markers'.
We did not see a Tasmanian devil, but we did see a pygmy possum, and a bettong. A pademelon came to the porch for a small treat. There was some confusion as to whether or not the animal was a bennent wallaby or a pademelon, but this one didn't have the notable white stripe or dark paws that are listed as defining markers of the bennent wallaby.
We stayed in our same cabin, "Currawong" at the "Highlanders Cabin", which I am quite attached to as choice for accommodation.
We didn't need to use the fireplace this time, but more animals came to the porch (banana were the winner, pumpkin was accepted but asparagus was a resounding 'no').
