Matt had known for years that he wanted to propose to Jo and decided an upcoming week-long trip to Tasmania for his 30th birthday was the perfect opportunity.
It was on a misty and cloudy first day at Cradle Mountain when he found the perfect intimate spot on the shore of Dove Lake.
He pulled Jo in for a kiss, pulled the ring out of his backpack and got down on one knee.
“He said some really sweet things to me and then I just cried for the rest of the day … I had clearly no idea because if I had, I might have worn my nicer walking attire!”
