We made a small diversion in our plans which finds us camped up at Barilla Holiday Park on the outskirts of Hobart for a few days.
Grabbed the opportunity to take a short drive over to the small historic town of Richmond. The stone bridge, which celebrated its 200th birthday last year, is a popular attraction in town. A beautiful autumn Saturday morning in Richmond, the place was teeming with visitors and tourists.

After a drive around the streets of town and a few piccies, we headed back to basecamp for lunch.
Later in the arvy, we decided to take a run up Mt Wellington. Soon after arriving at the summit, we were in the clouds!
I'd estimate at least 3-400 people were there at the same time. We joined a queue to just get a parking spot. I expect this would be the norm.

As the clouds descended, the crowds began to thin out. We hung around for an hour or so - by then we pretty much had a full white-out.
