IN TASMANIA…
I'm not on the kunanyi-Mt Wellington summit, but the city council's summitcam is, where this morning at 07.45 it is -1°C at 1271m with a light wind from the NNE at 1kph. A fine and calm morning.
The rising sun shines off the waters of the Derwent and if you look closely you can see the Tasman Bridge in the glow. A patch of fair weather cumulus drifts lazily past the summit through which you see the Eastern Shore and, to the right of the picture, South Arm peninsula, beyond which lie the waters of Storm Bay. The town of Kingston nestles on the Derwent shore at the right extremity of the frame.
In the other photo, the warming glow of the rising sun shines on the cold dolerite boulders of the summit.
There's a little snow about up there this morning. Don't you wich you were up here?
@kyp92 Hobart's mooted "underground bus mall" (announced 2018) was proportionally smaller. But, to the surprise of almost nobody, it didn't happen.

It's that time of the year when the eucalpyts shed the worn, dirty, grey outer bark and emerge clean and bright, ready for the cool season ahead.

I stayed at the Alabama Hotel in Hobart these last three days. Can recommend it very highly.
Cute rooms, coffee and bar, shared bathrooms, pretty cheap. https://www.alabamahobart.com.au/
