My Australia

The view from the top of Tasmania's Cradle Mountain

The view from the top of Tasmania's Cradle Mountain in midwinter — if you're lucky enough to get a break in the weather — is spectacular. I set my camera to take a photo after a two-minute delay and perched it on a rock, giving me and my girlfriend just enough time to reach the top and gaze out over the frozen expanse below. Cradle Mountain is on the famous Overland Track that weaves through the Tasmanian Highlands, crowded in summer, but beautifully silent in winter.
