It is getting warmer. Mid 30's today and our last day before we say goodbye to our noisy inner city room. We drove up Mount Wellington. I was keen to walk but Harry suggested that the 22 km 1200 meter climb might be a bit much in 30 degree heat. I reluctantly gave in. Amazing place looking over the river, sea and city. A bit hazy from the large forest fire in Gordontown but still worth the visit.
Then onto Mona (Museum of old and new art). We weren't sure about this place but since it was one of the few places that had a brochure at the airport and visitors centre we decided to try it. Some interesting art but the dark hallways and continual back tracking required to get to exhibits did my head in. Some interesting ones included plastic bags full of water and a black pathway that made you feel you were very high up rather than six centimeters. I liked the outdoor exhibits best particularly the concrete mixer and trampoline with bells underneath. Enough to drive any parent mad.
And then the highlight of Tasmania so far. A 2.5 hour walk in the Mount Fields natural reserve. Wandered to three waterfalls Russell, Horseshoe and Lady Barron. Great paths, scenery and lots of steps. Reminded us once again that Tassie seems a bit of a hybrid as pongas grow beside eucalyptus trees.
