If you ever visit Dove Lake and Cradle Mountain in Tasmania, it's worth doing the walk around the lake.
There is some fantastic scenery as the track makes its way around the lake, and in some places, it's a wooden walkway bolted to the rock cliff, as shown in the photo below (with Cradle Mountain in the background).
Other sections of the track will take you through a temperate rainforest called the Ballroom Forest.
The walk is 6km, and takes approximately 2 hours (depending on how fit you are, how fast you walk, how frequently you stop to take photos, etc). It's a relatively easy walk, and is mostly flat.

Beautiful shot Martin. I don't think I've ever seen it photographed from this angle so it's nice to see something different for a change.
