Mount Wellington
Visitors in Hobart can't help but notice that the city's skyline
is dominated by the majestic Mount Wellington, which towers over
the city at 4,170 feet (1,271 m) high. Travellers can enjoy the
incredible panoramic views from atop the mountain by taking a bus
to 'Fern Tree' and walking a steep zig-zag track to the top. It is
frequently snow-capped, even during the summer months from time to
time and the lower slopes are thickly forested. Those who choose to
rent a car can even enjoy a scenic drive to the summit. Mountain
biking is also a popular sport on the Mount Wellington, so
enthusiasts can look into hiring a bike and some gear to enjoy the
wonderful single trails on offer.

Money
The Australian Dollar (AUD) is divided into 100 cents. Banks and
bureaux de change exchange most foreign currencies. Travellers
cheques are also welcome everywhere, but banks take a small
commission and it is better to take cheques in major currencies
(e.g. US dollars or Euros) to avoid additional charges. Credit
cards are widely accepted and ATMs are freely available throughout
the country. Banking hours are generally 9.30am to 4pm Monday to
Thursday, and 9.30am to 5pm on Friday, but some banks offer
extended hours and some are open on Saturday mornings.
