Cradle Mountain is a place of exceptional beauty among the many natural treasures of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, which covers a fifth of the island state; it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1982 for being one of the world’s last expanses of temperate rainforest. In a photograph by John Charles Hill, the stamp shows Cradle Mountain crouched behind nearby Crater Lake, which is a classic cirque lake. The distinctive mountain is located in the north of the Cradle Mountain – Lake St Clair National Park, an environment of diverse ecologies and remarkable landscapes that supports alpine vegetation and abundant native wildlife, including the Tasmanian Devil, Platypus, quolls and echidnas.
