Tasmania part 5
First port of call in Hobart was Mount Wellington. At 1280m (4200 ft) it was only 10C (50F) on the summit. The view over Hobart is second to none!
There are some interesting sculptures at the dock including these penguins, but I think this sign was aimed at some other boids!!
The brig Lady Nelson is based in Hobart, and is another sail training ship.
We rested under these lovely old oak trees in Salamanca Place, before passing the main Post Office on our way back to the hotel.
Final birding was a walk around the Domain and the Botanical Gardens, where I saw the local race of Noisy Miner, and also some very tame Eastern Rosellas (that I have chased time and time again in Adelaide but to no avail!!
Then it was off to the airport to board some different birds altogether for the trip home.
Thanks for enjoying our holiday with us.
