Of course, you can't choose the weather and Mount Wellington is statistically in the clouds most of the time. But the bus ride up Mount Wellington is very entertaining, especially because of the driver. They explain the history of Tasmania and the infrastructure that was mostly built by British prisoners. They also stop for exciting encounters on the open road. We saw a Black Tiger Snake and an Echidna - very exciting.

It was a very nice experience. Of course also because of the nice weather! The bus driver was friendly and funny and told a lot of stories about the mountain and the area. But I wish those guides would consider more, that not every guest is native English speaking! So slow down the talking, and don’t expect everyone to understand jokes.
The bus was on time, but they didn’t provide me with a map in the bus, as promised in the confirming mail. The route downwards to Fern Tree was easy to find, though!
