Finally left Hobart today. We went down southwest from the capital to go for a hike.
We started at some foresting area (where they told us they were planting our future — how nice since they just cut it down) where we saw our first wild wallaby. He hopped right by.
We then decided to start the hiking. 5 miles with an elevation gain of 1000 ft or so. This is a little shorter than the first day of overland so a good way to start. Of course we had no packs as this was a day hike.
The hike lead us to the top of the highest hill in the area. Luckily a family was there and the parents explained what all the surrounding mountains were. Just to our south where jagged hills that fell to the sea on the other side. From there the next stop was antartica.
