]]>Cradle Mountain, at the northern end of the 161,000 hectare World Heritage listed Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park, is one of Australia's foremost wilderness locations. It is a rugged place of exceptional beauty, wondrous variety and above all, universal significance. More than 150,000 people a year enjoy the exotic and sometimes harsh wilderness experience of the regions dolerite capped craggy peaks, glacial lakes and grassy moorlands. Hikers, day-visitors and those staying at accommodation like the iconic Cradle Mountain Lodge, are all surrounded by peaks and valleys, temperate forests with links to Gondwana and sub-alpine zones carved out from the last ice age.

Cradle Mountain is also one of Australia's most accessible wilderness locations. With wilderness constantly threatened and widely misunderstood, it offers a variety of experiences for those who take the time to participate in its richness and open themselves to the transcending world of nature. Every experience in every place is framed by the uniqueness of that time and place. To be open to the wildness of wilderness at every level, both large and small, is to allow ourselves to participate in the infinite unfolding of the world around us.
