Visits
- 2025-11-21: We got the rental car, and now with some unplanned time, we decided to drive up to the top of Mount Wellington. There were plenty of people on the road that seemed to be struggling with driving on the wrong (left) side of the road. We tried first down the reservoir trail, where I was hoping to find a lake. Instead, there is a big concrete tank covered with street art. We made a few stops along the way to the top and returned to Hobart.
