MOUNT KATE HOUSE

Cradle Mountain - Lake St Clair National Park, Tasmania, Australia

It had been a foggy and rainy morning as I sought to photograph Cradle Mountain at sunrise in its various moods. As I waited at Mount Kate House the weather eventually cleared a little. The result, a unique view all the way through to the peak of Cradle Mountain.

This hut, now owned by the Parks and Wildlife Service, serves as a connection to the early pioneers of the area, particularly Gustav and Kate Weindorfer. In 1910 Gustav, Kate and friends Ronald Smith and Walter Black climbed Cradle Mountain - Kate becoming the first white woman to climb Cradle Mountain. As they rested on the summit Gustav Weindorfer proclaimed "This must be a national park for the people for all time. It is magnificent, and people must know about it and enjoy it." Gustav believed that by making the area accessible to visitors his vision would be realised. Gustav campaigned tirelessly to see the Cradle Mountain area reserved. On 16 May 1922, an area of 158,000 acres from Cradle Mountain down to Lake St Clair was proclaimed a scenic reserve and wildlife sanctuary.

Australian Wall Art - Unframed Print

UNFRAMED PRINT

Museum quality, fine art paper and inks.

We use fine art cotton paper from either Hahnemühle or Canson. This exceptionally high quality fine art paper is acid free and printed using genuine pigment inks - favoured by galleries and collectors because of their print longevity.

As a print only, this requires framing, allowing you to select your own mounting and framing options. The listed size includes a 8cm white border around each side of the photo, allowing sufficient room to accommodate various framing choices.

Unframed prints come rolled in a protective tube, making them our recommendation for international customers.

FRAMED PRINT

A clean, simple and modern look, suitable for any home.

Small Frame:The small frame (2cm wide x 2cm deep) is limited to our smallest sizes of framed prints. Your fine art paper print is mounted with a matt border, framed and completed with acrylic that protects against 70% of UV. The listed size is for the total finished framed dimensions of this artwork

Shadow Box Frame:Your fine art paper print is mounted and framed in a contemporary shadow box frame (27mm wide x 48mm deep) that is available in white or raw wood.

It is completed with museum grade acrylic (rather than glass) as it is light weight, transports well (doesn't break) and protects against 99% of UV.

Framed prints come ready to hang. The listed size is the total finished frame size, including the frame and border around the image.

Australian Wall Art - Acrylic Wall Mount

ACRYLIC - WALL MOUNT
