| absolutely stunning! Yes, very familiar with the deciduous beech. great to see entire slopes light up with the colours. Spring is worth a look too, alhtough not as stunning as autumn, the new growth on the beech is a lovely light green which contrasts nicely with a lot of the darker-foliaged alpine plants. If you havent had a chance yet, i'd recommend a visit to cradle mountain, the walk up to Crater Lake and/or Marions Lookout is fabulous this time of year. |
