Photo by Mark Pegrum CC BY-SA 2.0If you visit Hobart, you shouldn’t miss the panorama on Mt. Wellington. However, the weather has to be right. The mountain top is often covered by clouds so you won’t be able to see anything from above. But if the weather is clear, the almost 15 km long zigzag route to the top is worth it. Then, you will really have a magnificent view of the city and the surrounding mountains.
