We left Melbourne to fly to Hobart arriving at the International Airport around 2.  Again Jetstar served up a good service.  Only one flight left so fingers crossed.

 

We spent the day exploring Hobart and the environs.  Battery Point (which I thought was so called because it resembled a battery) was definitely worth a visit.  Unfortunately the 2k trek to the supermarket was not so beautiful.  We dined aboard a fish and chip restaurant in the harbour.  A bit different to cod and chips at home.  I ate Blue Eye.

 

The morning was spent conquering Mount Wellington, those of you have heard of my previous mountain expeditions will be disappointed to hear that this was via bus. At 1,270m it is pretty impressive that you can get from sea level to the top in air conditioned comfort.  Due to the bush fires and thestrong winds the views weren't the best but still pretty spectacular.

 

The afternoon we hopped on board a boat for a trip around the harbour with afternoon tea. Very civilised! Off to Wineglass Bay tomorrow then to Launceston before hitting the mainland once again.
