Jack Evershed, Cradle Mountain Critters (ANIMAL & NATURE 2023)

After climbing up and over Cradle Mountain in a bad storm and getting snowed in at Waterfall Valley Hut, I was rewarded with a day in the fresh powder, two resident wallabies and a skittish wombat. The storm had forced the park to close its roads which meant it was just me and the wildlife in the valley on the day. It remains a cherished memory.
