点评:There are a few different pathways up to Marion's Lookout in the Cradle Mountain National Park. This is a summit area around 1200 metres elevation where you find breathtaking views of Crater Lake, Dove Lake, Cradle Mountain and the surrounding lands within the national park.
We approached Marion's Lookout starting from Ronny Creek, passing Crater Lake before beginning our ascend up to the Lookout. On the way back down, we took the alternative route to Dove Lake, where there are public toilets, water refill stations and a nice waiting area for the shuttle back to the park visitor Centre.
Marion's Lookout is a very good spot to rest and have a food and drink break. We spent around 20 minutes soaking in the views, resting our feet and legs and enjoying a bite to eat before proceeding back down. Quite a few other hikers were there but there is plenty of space for everyone to spread around and find a great view to enjoy around the Lookout.

我们从罗尼溪 (Ronny Creek) 出发,经过火山口湖,然后开始攀登到马里恩观景台。下山途中,我们选择了另一条路前往鸽子湖,那里设有公共卫生间、补水站和一个舒适的候车区,可以乘坐班车返回公园游客中心。
马里恩观景台是休息和享用美食饮品的绝佳地点。我们花了大约 20 分钟欣赏美景,休息一下,吃了点东西,然后继续下山。那里有不少其他徒步旅行者,但观景台周围有足够的空间供大家散开,欣赏美景。
