I drive about 100 kms, starting around 3.30 a.m. and dodging about 30 pademelons (type of wallaby) and two spotted quolls before reaching Dove Lake. Then I set out in the dark and walked for about 2 hours to reach this spot, hoping all the way the weather would hold. Can't begin to describe my joy when I found it like this. Little Horn is the immediate peak you can see with Cradle Mountain behind it. If you get the chance, pencil in Twisted Lakes. You'll probably have it all to yourself.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6047739/44719d87-fbc2-4797-9b29-f9a7866c1824.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Then the top of Little Horn peeps up on the horizon, maybe I’m getting close I think. Within another 20 metres the whole purpose of the excursion becomes apparent. The vista before me is simply breathtaking. Twisted Lakes is but a mirror, everything I’d hoped and planned for has come to fruition. When you come upon something as good as this, it’s overwhelming. The sheer majesty of the panorama engulfs you, its power makes you feel so humble in its presence, there’s a distinct aura of “something else”, but it’s indefinable. It’s all my grey matter can do to remind me that I’m here to actually take photos. You just don’t want to stop looking for fear that it will all go away and you’ll be denied any more pleasure; but it stays as I set up the tripod. It’s not often I put myself in the picture, but here I feel it’s a must. Then I can look at it and remember just where I sat and how good it was. There are many angles to be had here. Faint trails indicate where other photographers have been, little flattened sections indicative of footfalls. It takes me around 15 minutes to get what I came for and then I sit down and enjoy breakfast, although “enjoy” seems like a totally inadequate verb in this case, there is a higher plane involved here, one you get to experience so few times in life. The cloud has started to form more seriously now, as predicted, and it adds a little to the experience. Changing lens and shifting position constantly I can but hope I’ve got it covered and, even as I’m moving around, the first gentle ripples of the day’s breezes disturb the surface. Had I been here any later I would have missed it. You like to think it’s good fortune but reflect on that fact that you’ve planned it for a week, constantly following the weather patterns, in the hope that you’ll get it right and leaving early enough to avoid all the problems that occur later. #Nature](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6047739/01835c0e-7c4a-40e8-837b-326821d846c2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ### Popular cities in Meander Valley Council [Launceston Known for Friendly people, Walking and Waterfalls ](https://expedia.com/Launceston.dx553248635003664474) Admire heritage buildings and explore stunning countryside around one of Australia’s oldest and quaintest cities. ## Reasons to visit - Cataract Gorge - Brisbane Street Mall - Penny Royal Adventures [Explore City](https://expedia.com/Launceston.dx553248635003664474)[Find Hotels](https://expedia.com/Launceston-Hotels.d553248635003664474.Travel-Guide-Hotels) [Cradle Mountain Known for Dining, Mountains and Nature ](https://expedia.com/Cradle-Mountain.dx6047739) Enjoy Tasmania’s pristine wilderness and diverse forest and mountain ecosystems while hiking around glacial lakes and to snowcapped peaks. ## Reasons to visit - Cradle Mountain - Dove Lake - Crater Lake [Explore City](https://expedia.com/Cradle-Mountain.dx6047739)[Find Hotels](https://expedia.com/Cradle-Mountain-Hotels.d6047739.Travel-Guide-Hotels) [Deloraine Known for Friendly people, Ports and Cheese ](https://expedia.com/Deloraine.dx180382) Discover why this riverside town is such an inspiration for artists and craft makers when you sightsee its mountain and rainforest scenery.
