Cradle Mountain

Thankfully, yeah.

Like I say, coming down the other side of Mount Black and Cradle Mountain, I was hitting 80-kilometre-an-hour speed, so that's quite fast when your bum's about this far off the ground.

Off the ground,

yeah.

That's spectacular.

Up to Cradle Mountain.

Little hike around there, a day and a bit.

Out of Launceston.

It's different living in a place.

It's also classified as a National Trust town of historic significance.

There's a cursed indigenous site called Cradle Mountain in Tasmania.

It's haunted by a debel debel, a half black, half white spirit, which was apparently a, a young Black warrior killed by a white settler.
