bad weather looks worse and worse through a window ...

Tasmania is almost synonymous with wild, unpredictable weather. But what I hadn't expected was how localized weather patterns can be. On Kunanyi it could rain in streams while Hobart, just a few kilometers away, could be warm and sunny at the same time.

Nevertheless, the unpredictability offered us the perfect excuse to queue us up and to get ourselves to work to inform us about the needs of digital work. This week I published over eight articles to add them to the Tasmanian archives and process hundreds of photos. I have fought with the construction of content residues in recent years, and one of my hardest resolutions is to overcome this habit.

But the sixth week was not just down, darkness and laptop square eyes. We welcomed the rain and went to the waterfall path around Kunanyi. Below you will find some of the highlights.

The cascades

The Cascades at the foot of Mount Wellington (Kunanyi) is a small suburb that is named after the many waterfalls. It is not the most impressive drops I've ever seen, but the network of paths and paths is really beautiful. I am sure that I am not alone when I confess that I have never imagined that Hobart has so many beautiful racetracks within walking distance of the city!

Some of the waterfall highlights this week were:

  • silver case
  • secret cases
  • Strickland Falls
  • o’gradys Falls

The hike to the Wellington Falls

Fittingly, the largest waterfall on the slopes of the Mount Wellington also requires the longest hike. When I say that, I don't mean that it was terribly difficult. In fact, the route was still a decent 20-kilometer slog, but really graded and well maintained.

The waterfall itself is again not overwhelming compared to some others on the island. Nevertheless, I found it quite incredible that in just a few hours you were surrounded by the capital on foot of complete wilderness.

Preparation for a second visitor

When this week came to an end, we were once again busy making space for a visitor. This time my father had taken a week to visit us in Tasmania. It is a place that he always mentioned that he wanted to visit him, so we are very happy to have him on board!
