    Mount Wellington stands at 1,271 meters above sea level. The observation deck at the summit offers a 360-degree panoramic view of Hobart, the winding Derwent River, Bruny Island in the distance, and the vast Tasmanian wilderness. The views are truly magnificent, making it an ideal spot for capturing panoramic city views and sunrises.

    Visited this zoo with a disabled family member in a wheelchair. We called ahead to check it would be ok to traverse the zoo and were told it would be fine. On arrival we found it to be impossible to push around the wheelchair due to the thick gravel surfaces. The zoo claimed we would have no trouble at all but in reality it was too difficult to push around someone in a wheelchair. Really disappointed that the zoo had no sympathy towards our complaint and my poor old father was made to feel and look like an invalid. Such a shame really as it is a good local attraction but the the detraction is the attitudes that are going on unchecked towards people who can't fight back.

    On this day in 2019, the driver's self-driving Tasmania team set out from the Royal Leisure Hotel in Launceston, passed the Bay of Fire and arrived at the holiday camp in Wineglass Bay. At this moment, the oysters and seafood for dinner were ready [beer][beer][happy][happy]

    When I stepped into Salamanca market, I was immediately attracted by the vibrancy and energy there. The market is full of enthusiasm and vitality, giving people a pleasant feeling. The market is full of various fresh produce, which makes me feel excited. A lot of people also lay on the grass and have a chill weekend! In Salamanca market, I found two shops that you must not miss - the Scallop Shop and the Oyster Shop. The Scallop Shop offers a range of mouth-watering skewer scallops. They are all fresh and delicious with rich taste. it costs about 15AUD per skewer and it is well worth it And the Oyster Shop brought me another wonderful seafood experience. The oysters here from Bruny Island are fresh and juicy, and the meat is delicious. The shop owners are very warm and friendly. The oysters are freshly shrucked! In addition to these two shops, the whole market provides a rich and diverse choice of food. Whether it is fresh fruits, vegetables, meat or a variety of pastries and prepared foods, you can find your favorite food. The stalls in the market are filled with colorful fruits and vegetables, which makes people salivate. And the prices are quite affordable, which is great value for money. In addition to delicious food, Salmanka Market also has many food stalls, handicraft shops and art exhibitions, which brings people a cultural and artistic enjoyment. The atmosphere of the market is very lively, full of tourists and local residents. Overall, I highly recommend Salmanka Market. And dont forget to come with an empty stomach! #hobart #freshoysters

    Traveling to Australia, this stop came to Hobart, the capital of Tasmania. Richmond Town is one of the oldest towns. Richmond Bridge is an arch bridge located in Richmond Town. It is the oldest bridge still in use in Australia. The bridge was built by convict laborers and completed in 1825. It was originally named Bigg Bridge, named after Royal Commissioner John Bigg. The raw material of Richmond Bridge is sandstone from the Butchers Hill Quarry, which was transported to the construction site by prisoners using carts. The bridge has four large arches and two small arches, all designed according to the characteristics of water flow.
