07 Feb : Hobart

After a tasty breakfast, +Jill and I drove to Old Springs (just past Fern Tree) part way up Mt Wellington. From here we did about a 5 1/2 mile hike to the top - up on the Zig Zag trail and down via the Ice House trail.

Both trails were technical rocky paths unlike some other "walks" we've done. But the way down was far more technical and for experienced walkers only. It was a couple of hours of climbing over rocks or walking in "dry creek beds" endlessly.

There is a fire burning nearby (not yet contained) so we did not have great visibility. In addition, upon showering before dinner, I could not help but smell a ton of smoke. What did we inhale today?

Once we got back to civilization, it was time for a few routine shopping errands along with laundry and catching up with all of our photos we recently generated over the past few days.
