Day 318 – 31st December 2011
Hobart Showgrounds, Glenorchy, TAS
We got up at the crack of dawn and were walking by 6.30am. We walked from Lake Dobson via Rodway Range to K Col from where we climbed Mt Field West (1434m ASL), returning via Newdegate Pass and the Tarn Shelf Track (21.5km loop – 7h50). Another great scenic walk to finish 2011! Back at the van we drove straight to Hobart where we set up camp at the showgrounds and got ready to celebrate New Year’s Eve. We took the bus into town and walked around Constitution Dock admiring all the yachts that participated in the Sydney to Hobart Race. Next we found ourselves a table at Cargos Pizza Lounge along Salamanca Place and enjoyed delicious woodfire oven pizzas with a nice drop of wine. Just before midnight we walked to the waterfront to watch the fireworks. Afterwards we didn’t linger to long and took a spot in the queue at the taxi rank. We were only 10th in line but it still took over 1h before we got a cab home!
