Tasmania Residency

The weather was cool and clear the other day so I went and had a little wander around part of Mt. Wellington. I walked along a track to Sphinx Rock and found myself sitting on the edge of a cliff by myself looking out to the city. I realised that something I like about Launceston and Hobart is how easy it is to escape from people and the city; within an hour you can be sitting up on a mountain looking all around.

I kept walking along a track but then decided to blaze my own trail and started climbing up some rocks in the direction of a road above. I got into a bit of a hairy spot of bush bashing and was beginning to think how lucky it was that they don't usually kill off the main character when I thankfully stumbled across another little track.

Mt. Wellington is an exciting place to explore with lots of little tracks sprinkled around. I've always felt strangely drawn to this mountain since I visited Hobart as a child. I suppose it's such a natural dominating feature over the city; I imagine it has a bit of a hold over a lot of people.
