    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.

    Traveling to Australia, this stop came to Hobart, the capital of Tasmania. Visited Cascade Brewery, which is the oldest brewery in Australia. It was built in 1824 and rebuilt in 1927. This is because a fire broke out in the south that year, and the fire affected the brewery. Later, it was rebuilt, so there are two years marked on the main entrance of the castle-style brewery. The current Cascade Brewery offers various flavors of beer, fruit drinks, and dark beer brewed with specially selected wheat. There is a tour of the brewery here, but it is not available on weekends. When I came that day, it was Sunday, so I could only taste the craft beer at my own expense. I am not a drinker, so I only bought a cup of the smallest cider to try, which costs about RMB 20. It is not big, and it is brewed with local apple juice from Tasmania. It is mellow and delicious. If it is hot, drinking a glass of iced beer can be said to be a great thing. The restaurant is quite large. On one side is a counter selling various craft beers. You can also order meals or desserts. I heard that there are desserts made with beer, but I didn't buy any food. On the other side is hot drinks. Pushing the side door of the restaurant out is an ancient garden. The garden coexists with the brewery, so it is also a garden with a long history. There are many plants planted in it. It can be said to be a mini botanical garden. There are many outdoor seats. Australians like to enjoy the sun outdoors, especially on weekends or after work in the afternoon. There will be many locals who come here to chat in groups of three or two. This is the slow life in Australia.

    Traveling to Australia, this stop came to Hobart, the capital of Tasmania. The Port Arthur Historic Site is one of the most famous attractions in Hobart. The Prison Church Historic Site, which used to be an old prison building, shows the local prison environment more than half a century ago, as well as the judicial system in Tasmania. Visitors can see the former court here, or follow the dim stairs to the cell and visit the cell environment. I took a tour map, which marked many places. Now all we see is a ruin. Although a sign was erected in the court, cell and other places, everyone can use their imagination to imagine the original picture at that time.
