Mount Wellington Summit Lookout - Hobart, Tasmania - AUSTRALIA

 

Highly Recommended - View Large On Black

 

Rising 1270 metres (around 4,000 feet) above Hobart's harbour and the wide Derwent River, Mount Wellington provides a wilderness experience within 20 minutes' drive of the city and is much loved by locals.

 

The 21-kilometre (13-mile) drive to the summit takes you from temperate rainforest to sub-alpine flora and glacial rock formations, ending in panoramic views of Hobart, Bruny Island, South Arm and the Tasman Peninsula.

It was really freezing up here to the point where I could only hold my point and shoot camera for few seconds to take this shot!

 

I am really behind in catching up... but I promise to do so very soon!
