@ Forest Walk, Cradle Mountain
White Daisy Egg My pets are in awe of these beautiful eggs—they would love to try to paint their own one year. Easter and spring are times of joy as the earth awakens, plants are pushing forth from the soil, and the days are becoming warmer. Many baby animals are born in the spring, and life is burgeoning. May these eggs bring you joy and be a reminder of the earth renewing itself.

@ Crater Lake The historic site Port Arthur is open every day and even has ghost tours in the evenings.

The island became known as a ‘fortress for convicts’ and continued to be so until 1853 when the regular transportation of prisoners ceased. Crater Lake This beauty spot is found in the Cradle Mountain - Lake St Clair National Park. The walls of the "crater" were carved out by glacier ice thousands of years ago. The water is deep blue, as tannins from tea trees lining the banks leach into the water. It makes for an extremely scenic walk so don't forget your camera!
