I have just returned from two days of wanderment and floundering at Cradle Mountain.
Floundering - the exhibition of photos (plus a few extra ones) from my book Floundering: Stories from Cradle Mountain is now showing at the Wilderness Gallery at the Cradle Mountain Hotel until January 31st 2021.
Here we are working hard with our maths and levelling skills to ensure every photo is level at the Wilderness Gallery
It was surprisingly mind-bending and mentally exhausting. I haven't done so much maths in years!
A partial glimpse of the overall end result. You will have to take a wandering trip out to Cradle Mountain to flounder through the photographs and explore your relationship with the wilderness.
This curious local pademelon came to say hello at our window balcony. 'Good morning! Please feed me? Aren't I cute? Do you have any treats?'
"Sorry, but no. People food is very bad for you, but thank you for posing so well for photos. You really are adorable.'
'Slow down...breath out' at the new visitor centre.
Wandering around Dove Lake. Floundering in the beauty of the land, and so, so very grateful for the smaller numbers of people there. It was wonderful to share with relatively few humans and only Tasmania residents, for a change. It felt like it used to feel 15 years ago, before the influx of tourists. But - the hotels were very full, of locals, which was fabulous. The lake sings to you.
Up to Lake Wilks
Flowering heath and new fagus growth.
UP and across the Face Track...touch deep time
Tangled uncomfortably...this is the actual walking track
Stop. Look closely. Pandani.
Views to forever, in all directions
Our lunch-time view.
More friendly locals hoping for some left over crumbs, sitting on a rock two metres behind us...watching, waiting.
Wombat Pool. Not long before boarding the shuttle bus when light rain began to fall. Six hours of pure wanderment bliss.
The Floundering exhibition is showing until January 31st.
