A simple question. I'm planning a walk at Cradle Mountain, and the final section of the walk drops down from Cradle Mtn face track to Lake Wilks then onto Dove Lake. I want to know - which way around Dove Lake should I go to take in the Ballroom Forest? Thanks. Gav.

Turn left (north-west) and you will pass through the amazing Ballroom Forest on the way back. The track pretty pops out at the southern extremity of Lake Dove.

Watch out in bad weather, the descent off of the face track isn't too fun when the rock is covered in ice.
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.
