If you’ve heard of one walk in Tasmania, it’s probably the Dove Lake Circuit. This stunning 6-kilometre loop traces the shores of a glacial lake, all under the watchful gaze of the iconic Cradle Mountain. It’s easily one of Australia’s most spectacular wilderness walks and an absolute must-do for anyone visiting this part of the world.
