Day 12 - Homeward Bound

 But not before...

You Guessed it - ANOTHER Early Start!
8:40 am 

To the First Nations People it is Kunanyi.  To us it was Mount Wellington and so it is now Kunanyi/ Mount Wellington. 
At 1270 m above Sea Level, it is not the highest Peak in Tasmania, but stands watch over Hobart and from the Summit - on a clear day, you can pretty much see forever.

For us, the early morning mist shrouded the View in an ethereal blanket. 
 
Although we couldn't see those 'forever horizons' we were told about, it was still magical. 


Back down to the Hustle of a Saturday Morning, an unexpected bonus - Hobart's Salamanca Market was open, and we had just enough time to have a quick look at the many stalls. 


Then one last Tour Bus Ride - Dropping some, who were staying longer, at their Hotels before heading to the Airport - Waving fond fare-well and hugging people we may never cross paths with again.

We have seen so much yet only scratched the surface of this World Heritage Place - some of which is only available to Tour Companies like Outback Spirit.

And I have challenged my Comfort Zone on several occasions - But then, isn't this WHY we travel?



Hobart is just 1 hr 15 min flight from Melbourne or if you want to take longer The Spirit of Tasmania takes around 10 hours to cross Bass Straight to Devonport.
