Has anyone posted this yet - our PM atop Cradle Mt:

Well.... I couldn't imagine Kim Beazley posting a YouTube video of himself from the top of Cradle! ;)

Don't think I can imagine Kim B making it to the top!
I don't think Kev looked at his best though, which fits in with TT's report viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3343&p=37225#p37225
Still maybe a bit of good publicity for Tassie?

Good on him for doing it though. Whilst his family was here they were very active and friendly and got out and saw alot - horse riding in the Vale, lot's of walking and animal spotting, and a trip to the summit. Probably seen more of Cradle Mt NP than the vast majority of locals. I know people from Wilmot that have worked at Cradle Mt Lodge for 10+ years and have never been to Dove Lake and don't want to.

Did he use "detailed programmatic specificity" in planning this walk? :lol:

Well done on getting there, I wonder where the next location is?
Florentine Valley perhaps......

Thanks for posting that link, l8r, it inspired me to write an email to him while he's still touched by the magic of our bush.
