Mt. Wellington

This tower was also ugly so they put a hard plastic shell around it and now people use it as a backdrop for photos...awesome!

The observatory...great view and lts of ingo what your looking at.

We climbed to the top.....from our car.

Nice sights along the way.

Easy to get around...good walkways and terraces for viewing, and picture taking.

Great scenes....boulders and brush.

Over the bridge hang a left and your in Lindisfarne where we are staying.

On the top of the world Ma!

These people are crazy...Capital C!

Hobart is a small town but including all the burbs their are 200K people here.

One of 2 towers...this is the ugly one.

Making her way to the views.

sad...just like the indians in the US

It's all in the balance.

One of the must-do's in Hobart is making your way by car, bus or foot up Mt. Wellington to the summit. The mountain is the prominent backdrop of the city and most of it lies on its slope. Over 3000 feet above sea level it is a fast and steep ascent. The countryside heading up is beautiful and lush and only thins a little right at the top. The summit allows a 360 degree view of lots of Tasmania and the surrounding islands. There are 2 outside walks with terraces and an inside observatory with lots of info about what your looking at. We picked a perfect day to go...warm, no wind and blue sky, blue water and fluffy white clouds. The payoff is the views and the pictures are fantastic. Some days I just have to pinch myself to believe I'm am where I am! Enjoy.
