St Claire N.P.
The rain clouds roll across the sky, kissing the mountain peaks as they pass overhead Lake St Claire and Craddle Mountain National Park, a World Heritage Site in Australia's southern most state, Tasmania.
Many of the park’s natural features carry names from classical Greek mythology – such as Pelion, Olympus and Narcissus, named in the 1830’s by Surveyor General George Frankland, inspired by what he considered the area’s ‘classical’ beauty. Most of the spectacular mountain peaks and lakes were formed by up to three ancient glacial advancements the ridges and mounds of the valleys, known as Moraines, were formed by the rocks and gravel deposited as glacial ice moved and melted across the landscape.
