In this final article, Nik Sands from Bushwalk Australia shares the story of the last day of his trip from Lake St Clair to Cradle Mountain with his wife Heidi.

Tasmanian Wilderness photographer, Dennis Harding, presents some images of the Fagus at the Cradle Mountain area in Tasmania. We met Dennis at Kitchen Hut and he has shared some fantastic (professional , not like ours!) shots he took while exploring the area with a group of mates.

Pieces of art that reflect the beauty of the area and tell a story that excites you and makes you want to be there!
