the lush Eucalyptus forests and the town of Fern tree with its leafy cool

We get to have free time to take in
stunning views from The Springs Lookout, and see unique Tasmanian vegetation
and sandstone cliffs. Here we can pick up refreshments at the Lost Freight Cafe
and gaze up at the spectacular organ pipes cliffs of Mt Wellington.
David your Guide has studied botany,
geology and water resources at a local university in Hobart and is well able to
explain this unique mountain environment. He has experienced this mountain
since young and has many stories to share.
We return to the Tasmanian Travel and

We arrive back in Hobart two hours after the commencement of your tour. A further stop as close as possible to your
ship is also available for cruise passengers.
