Another great hike - Cradle Mountain N Tasmania. Dove Lake ringed by Mesoproterozoic greenschist ~1000-1600 million years old. The skinny horizontal layers are Permian ~250-298 m yrs so an age gap up to 1300 m yrs. Jagged peaks are dolerite that intruded the Permian deposits about 175 m yrs ago ⚒️🧪
