(Part 1 of 4, 6 photos) – Time to wind the clock back a little to March 24, before a wedding, a flourish of fungi and snow on the mountain. There’s a track from the very top of kunanyi/Mt Wellington that heads south past the steep descending Zig Zag track through a boulder field. I’d just bought a new OM-1 and took it for a walk. My goal, “The Rocking Stone”. I’d walked this track before but never diverted to visit this natural feature.
The track you can see clearly above is the start of the ZigZag track. The track I am on is much less defined and breaks off to the left in this shot.
Thanks for visiting, please join me on my continuing adventure atop the mountain in the next thrilling post!

You have a great view from up there, Tone! There seem to be two towers at the summit, one a digital TV station, the other I don’t know.

One is an older TV tower the new one is mainly TV and radio and is Tasmania’s tallest structure. There’s more info at this LINK

Thank you for the link, Tone, it was very informative! Bering a ham radio operator, I am always curious about radio towers.

Thanks 😊 It’s a pretty harsh yet beautiful environment, the mountain is a big part of what makes Hobart so special.

Thanks Anneli, there’s more to come … pretty impressive when you are up there amongst it! Despite it being so close, I don’t go up to the too very often.

I also have the 14-150mm, always amazed what you can get out of such a small lens, and still so sharp ! Sometimes I start to doubt and wonder why I still use APS-C. Btw, just ordered a second-hand E-M1 MKII, curious what that camera can do. Great shots Tone !

Thank you Mark, you won’t be disappointed with the EM1 II, very versatile and feature packed camera! I didn’t think it was worth upgrading to the Mark III and to be honest, for most shooting and sometimes a little more work, it is just as capable as the OM-1 and feels nicer.

Wow! What a view! I’m very intrigued by the boulders. Especially the one balancing on the far right in the 4th photo.

It is breathtaking! Wait till you see the rocking stone … it goes from hot to freezing wind and ice. The rocks are worn by the harsh weather and it sometimes causes them to split. It’s an incredible alien like place.

See, this is why I love nature! We get so worked up in our lives and our problems, then nature steps up to remind us that we are but a speck.
Great photos. Looking forward to seeing more.

It is a shame most humans get so caught up in chasing money they turn their back on nature. This place will still be here long after we are gone.
