Mount Wellington view of Hobart, Tasmania<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After a few days of sea kayaking along Bruny Island, including paddling past large salmon aquaculture pens and camping on random beaches, we spent one last day in Hobart, starting with a visit to the top of Mount Wellington (1271m\/4170ft asl), followed by hiking the Zig Zag Track down the side. Mount Wellington acts as a shield, protecting Hobart from bad weather. <\/p>\n

We found ourselves at the bottom of the hill, visiting the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens later in the day.<\/p>\n
