Tasmania - Standing On Mt. Wellingtion

In case you were not aware, a few weeks ago I was in Tasmania, and as always, I had the camera with me. Now, if you get the opportunity to go to Tasmania at some stage in your life, try your best not to go during the Australian winter. It’s just like Northern Ireland.

Here are just a few photograph’s taken from, and of Mt. Wellingtion. Mt. Wellington stands overlooking the capital of Tasmania, Hobart. It’s not all that large, but it’s pleasently situated, and on a clear day, as you can see, there are panoramic views for miles around. The first day I went to see it, it was snowing, and you couldn’t see anything from the top. On the day these shots were taken, it was beautifully clear, but it was still absolutely freezing! With the wind (which was very strong at the summit), it would have been nearly -10

In the above photograph, you can see pretty much all of Hobart. It’s not a large city. In fact, I was surprised at just how small it is, and the lack of shops in the city centre. You can see the main bridge towards the left. About two thirds across, you can see a fairly large building near the river; it’s the oldest casino (a.k.a Den of Iniquity) in Australia. Australia is sadly, one of the biggest gambling countries in the world.

Here I am on top of the summit. I was nearly blown off, as it’s just a small platform, and the wind was intense! Not ideal conditions for a self-portrait!

Interestingly, the last time I had this coat on, it was at least 40°C warmer! I had to wear to lighten my luggage on the flight from Adelaide to Port Lincoln when we first arrived, and it was 35°C that day!

I’ll post up photograph’s of some of the wildlife I saw while I was in Tasmania soon.
