A couple of options today, the Summit loop (with the word summit being a clue!) and a gentler "Roam around the foothills" for those who didn't feel like hills today.
Sorting out groups and directions
First stop the Frog Ponds. Not a lot of pond and no sign of the six frog species, as the vegetation has grown up.
This is where we parted company with the Strollers who were going to explore the area where John Glover painted some of his famous works.
The track leads down to the scene depicted in the painting above.
Off they go
Happy as!
Another group made a detour on the way back from the summit to see the location. They hadn't had quite enough of uphill sections.
The Ramblers are setting off to conquer the summit, very happily
Local flora. Purple love creeper?
She found a hat.
More flora
The view over the city of Hobart. This area is rich in history of woodcutting, farming and sandstone quarrying, get more information here

Being recorded for posterity (or blackmail)
I loved the little gravy boat
Battling on bravely, through a much bigger than anticipated steak.
