Mt Wellington

Mt Wellington is a short drive from Hobart. At 1271m, it's a good place to spend a few minutes to put Hobart into perspective. There's some great walks from Fern Tree at it's base, on up to its summit.
There are snow posts along the road about 1/2 way up bbrrrrrrrrr!

No snow today though. Another very nice day in fact as we walked up from Fern Tree to the Organ pipes (the rock formations surrounding Mt Wellingtons' summit).  Up hill all the way on single track with numerous steps. The views are pretty spectacular. Photos just don't do it justice.

The Organ pipes from about 300m below the summit.
We were walking along and heard people speaking. There was no-one around until we looked up and saw these climbers. There were 3 of them and they were about 150m up the side of these rocks.
The view of Hobart and surrounds.
