From the advocate

A fire has destroyed the Trailside Museum at Cradle Mountain.

Tasmania Fire Service crews from Wilmot, Claude Road and Sheffield attended the blaze just before 8am on Monday, as well as response crews from the Parks and Wildlife service. :(

Not officially confirmed but apparently due to a lightning strike. Crazy.
