Kate Julia Cowle (1863–1916), a Fingal-born pianist and amateur botanist, is recorded as the first European woman to summit Cradle Mountain, climbing it in January 1910 alongside her husband Gustav Weindorfer. Kate used her own inheritance to help purchase the Cradle Valley land on which the couple built Waldheim, their timber "forest home," opened to guests in 1913.

Kate Legge's biography of Gustav Weindorfer and Kate Cowle — the Austrian immigrant and the Tasmanian woman who together fought to protect Cradle Mountain and establish it as a national park for all Australians. Weindorfer grew up beside the Carinthian Alps; Kate Cowle was climbing Tasmanian mountains when few women did. When they stood on Cradle Mountain's summit together in January 1910, they imagined a national park.
