Our Canoe Day on Dove Lake


It's busy up here on Cradle Mountain - they estimated about 3000 visitors yesterday ! We were fortunate to get a spot with a local kayaking/canoeing group to do some paddling on Dove lake - the lake just below the Cradle (hence the name for the mountain). Aidan, Cole and I took to the lake, while Jen and Piper held fort on the shore. It was a beautiful day for a paddle and we could see a whole new side to the surroundings. Afterwards we enjoyed an ice cream and headed home to prepare for a night out with the spotters and a visit to the 'Devils' - a small sanctuary up the road. You'll be happy to know we haven't destroyed the caravan yet and the kids are still doing their daily journals - albeit - with a little coaxing,  sweat and tears. It'll become routine soon enough. Hope this finds everyone well.
