Capital of the State of Tasmania.After hiring a car we decided that lunch in the Royal Hobart Botanic Gardens would be a great idea.
The gardens overlook the Derwent river but are known around the country as the location of "Petes Patch" which is an organic vegetable garden featured on the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) show "Gardening Australia"
Peter Cundall presented the show until recently and was most often seen tending to the garden seen below.
Of couse Pete had some help.... Can you see his assistant Wombat above ?
The patch was full of interesting crops when we visited.
After lunch we headed up to Mount Wellington. There was a gentle gale blowing at the top and I had to hold on tight to avoid being blown off the mountain.
There were snow drifts.... wombats prefer to be indoors if it snows.
The view over Hobart was amazing even if it was cold. Time to head back down the mountain
A visit to "Cadbury World" revealed that in addition to chocolate they also sell large wombats.
Very impressive.
More Soon.
