Gowrie Park

From the Narawntapu National Park, we headed south towards the mountains and the World Heritage listed Cradle Mountain National Park. On the way we did a short walk to a lookout at a place called Alum Cliffs. This is a place where aboriginal tribes met and is considered by them to be sacred.

We also visited the nearby King Solomon caves, it was nice and cool inside.

As the camping fees are very high at Cradle Mountain, we stopped at friendly campsite at a place called Gowrie Park and drove in early the next day. The camp site at Gowrie Park was an old construction camp for a hydro station several years ago. Some of the buildings were showing their age but it had good basic facilities and great views of the mountains.

Mail boxes come in all shapes and sizes.
