We actually stopped at Marion's lookout as part of the Overland track but the lookout hike makes a wonderful day hike as well. We started from Ronny creek in drizzle and by the time we reached Marion's lookout the sky was clearing and we got stunning views of Cradle Mtn, Dove Lake and vicinity. It's a great rest stop or place for a picnic. Families with young children can do the hike and we even witnessed a birthday party for a youngster while eating our lunch. You need a park pass but the day hike is free. Be sure to go prepared for all kinds of weather as we witnessed rapid changing weather.

I just completed the guided, catered version of overland track (overnight hut accomodation) with The Tasmanian Walking Company and 12 members of my extended family including my 75 year old parents, my 15 year old teenage daughter and her 5 year old cousin, my siblings and their families. It was incredible! The landscape was wild and beautiful. Each day we experienced such interesting and diverse landscapes that varied from fog on the moors and high lakes to bright sunshine whilst swimming in local waterholes or heading up to the summit of Mt Doris through the "Japanese gardens" and up Mt Ossa. We were very grateful to be walking in the company of of three fantastically good humoured, professional and thoughtful guides, Silas, Carla and Mikael. It was a very memorable and meaningful family holiday that reconnected us and reminded us all for how precious and wonderful the natural world is.

This is one of 3 short walks from the Visitor Centre and it's worth doing them all as a 90 minute circuit. Along the way you will see rivers, ferns, rainforest, tall trees, and if you're lucky, echidnas and platypus. The first part up to Watersmeet is wheelchair friendly and anyone can manage this, but after that the track becomes narrow and little more challenging. Skip Platypus Bay if you want to save time, as it as the least interesting part of the walk. A great introduction to the park for any level of fitness.
5. Crater Lake Circuit

Crater Lake is the other great walk at Cradle Mountain that most visitors will be easily able to manage. It’s a 3 hour circuit from Ronny Creek, though it best to cut the last section across open grassland short, and finish at Dove Lake and get the bus back from there. The track climbs steadily up to crater lake through grasslands, rainforest, past a lovely waterfall, and then peaks at the saddle above Dove and Crater Lakes. From here you ca wind back down to Dove lake, or divert up to Marions. This diversion is steep and involves a bit of a rock scramble, but is well worth it if the weather is clear. If it’s clouded in , don’t bother. Beware, there are no facilities anywhere on this walk until the Dove Lake bus drop off.
