The Cradle Mountain National Park is an Australian icon not to be missed: accessible wilderness with walks from a couple of hours to a couple of weeks. The basic walk is around Dove Lake and takes around two hours, but Cradle Mountain is also one end of the world-famous Overland Track, the other end being Lake St Clair, about four to five days away.

Austrian-born Gustav Weindorfer was inspired so much by the sheer magnificence of Cradle Mountain that he built a chalet of King Billy pine here in 1912 and worked tirelessly for a decade to have the area declared a national park "for the people for all time". His dream was realised in 1922; today a quarter of all visitors to the state travel here to share his vision.
