18.01.2022 Spotted on a guided Dove Lake Circuit with @leatherwoodtasmaniatours, a lone Tasmanian Christmas bell, or Blandfordia punicea - peak flowering is generally around Christmas time but the late season means there are still plenty around, although they can flower until early Autumn. The Tasmanian variation is larger in size to its mainland cousin which shares the same common name. Thanks @hjctourguide for the images.

04.01.2022 With our Cradle Mountain Day Tour up and running, our weekend guest expressed an interest in Marion's Lookout, so Ben guided him up the express track from Dove Lake Track and they enjoyed the included lunch from the top, overlooking Cradle Mountain, Dove Lake and the surrounding peaks on an unusually clear day. Absolutely spectacular day for it with very little haze or clouds with visibility for miles. It made for a very memorable experience for our guest. Small Day Tour bookings can allow for this flexibility where appropriate, or if you are visiting Cradle Mountain we have guided hikes available on request. #mcdermottscradletours
