Surprisingly low, but bitterly cold. Mt Wellington provides the backdrop to Hobart and is a short distance by vehicle from the city. The mountain has high winds which have been recorded at sustained speeds of over 157 km/h (97 mph), with rare gusts of up to 200 km/h (124 mph). In the winter it often snows and the mountain is often snowcapped. Lighter snowfalls in spring, summer and autumn are also common. A day on the summit can consist of clear sunny skies, then rain, then snow, then icy winds and then clear again.
We drove down February 25, 2024 for our honeymoon and with each winding turn, the mountains were surrounding us more and more. There were so many cabins in the distance, pastures, and quiet stretches of road where we were the only one driving for miles. There were very few small towns. Definitely Country Roads! We giggled, listened to music, and talked the whole time, randomly seeing a mountain or rock face and getting excited.
Everyday we found a new adventure (after taking advantage of the complimentary breakfast each morning, of course) whether it was seeking waterfalls, hiking, playing on the swings, snowboarding, sledding, or exploring railroads. We watched the sunset over the mountains each night of the week we were there, and left the fireplace lit all night to keep us warm. First of many adventures as husband & wife!
