On the top of Mount Wellington. Mt Wellington is a 30 minutes ride from Hobart. In the distance is the city of Hobart. This is a very windy place and with that, wind chill factor is high, so I am not staying out here for too long! :)

V for victory! Climbing on the rocks at the top of Mount Wellington. The ruggedness of the terrain calls for shot or two against the blue sky!

Standing on the harbour of Hobart, Mure Fish Market (http://www.mures.com.au/) Mures has two sections: the upper deck is a seafood restaurant while the lower deck is a cafeteria style bistro which we went, and it served mainly deep fried fish. You should try the Blue-eye trevella - yummy!

At the Hobart Harbour, near the Elizabeth Street Pier. Nice blue sea and sky. The marina is out of bounds to us, so this is the best we could go...

Taking in the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Garden's Japan Theme. Note the small little stone house ornament on the left centre - a common sight in Japanese gardens. Like the colors of the plants - red, orange, yellow and green complemented by blue sky and dark waters.

Fancy a cuppa in the cool of the day, sitting in the cafe, taking a break after a walk in the park? A nicely done cappucino (comes completed with the froth pattern) waiting just for you!

Roof of a cafe in the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Garden. I liked the lines presented and perspective of the canvas against the blue sky - "blue peeking through the canvas!".

Also at the cafe, we caught a view of the a beautiful bird perched on the barren branch of the tree next to the cafe (on 2nd floor). Yellow breasted bird but I am not sure what's its name though.
