Believing that the bush enlarged the human mind & spirit, they gave their lives to preserving what they could of it in the hope that the country might also be blessed. People who love the bush—& Cradle Mountain in particular—will read this book: everyone else should read it. It’s a gem.” — DON WATSON

A love cradled by nature's greatest architecture: a national park
He was an Austrian immigrant; she came from Tasmania. He grew up beside the Carinthian Alps; she climbed mountains when few women dared. Their honeymoon glimpse of Cradle Mountain lit an urge that filled their waking hours. Others might have kept this splendour to themselves, but Gustav Weindorfer & Kate Cowle sensed the significance of a place they sought to share with the world. When they stood on the peak in the heat of January 1910, they imagined a national park for all.Kindred: A Cradle Mountain Love Story traces the achievements of these unconventional adventurers & their fight to preserve the wilderness where they pioneered eco-tourism. Neither lived to see their vision fully realised: the World Heritage listed landscape is now visited by 250,000 people each year.
Award-winning journalist Kate Legge tells the remarkable story behind the creation of the Cradle Mountain sanctuary through the characters at its heart.
