Second day at Tassie was spent exploring the murals of Sheffield and trekking at Cradle Mountain!
Sheffield is well-known for being the "Town of murals" as it is dotted with murals throughout! The first mural was unveiled back in Dec 1986. Since then, more than 60 murals have been created! So we were off to spot murals but after a while we quickly gave up because… we got tired of it and tbh they aren't as nice as those you find in Penang. Hahaha.

| The empty roads of Sheffield early in the morn |

| Spotted a super cute letter box |
 |
| spotted a mini-waterfall along our drive and stopped for a photo opp haha |
After the murals of Sheffiled, we headed straight for Cradle Mountain, also where Dove Lake is. It was truly magnificent even in the whole fogginess of it all. We opted to do a trek around Dove Lake which took us I think almost 2 hours? The estimated time was supposed to take 1.5 hours but I guess we were walking too slowly… and kept taking breaks along the way haha. Towards the end of the trek, the rainy weather cleared up and there was sun and a double rainbow! FULL rainbow some more. It was truly wondrous and c'est magnifique. Let the photos do the rest of the talking! :)

We were supposed to go see penguins after Cradle Mountain.. but unfortunately we spent too long a time here and were too late to make it for the penguins :(
For me it wasn't so bad cos I've been to Philip Island Penguin Parade but I felt bad for the others who actually wanted to see the penguins quite badly… it's ok friends! If I'm staying on in Melbs you come visit me again ok?? Hahaha we will go see penguins together! :D
Drove to our accommodation for the night - which I have no photos off! But it's like a lodge of 2-storey apartments. Albeit small, was sufficient for the night.
Last day of Tassie in the next post!
