Mount Wellington looms over Hobart and most days is clouded over by the time we get going.  On Tuesday, the 20th, we got up and just blasted up the mountain.  This is what we got to see.
    


Near the tree line, the vegetation starts to twist and gnarl.  We hit snow at about this point and had to stop to take a picture.

   The top is flat and snow covered this time of year and the clouds build up as soon as the sun hits the mountain and starts to warm the rock and vegetation below. 

Looking up the Derwent River Valley
 

Looking down on Hobart.  The indentation in the center, near coastline is the harbour where we live.

    

Looking almost north from the summit
