Mt
Hobson has a high wooden platform and steps to protect the regenerating
plants there. Curious to see the path turn into steps, complete
with a visitors book in a little weatherproof box.
The view over the island and sea is interesting, a pair of binoculars
would be useful.
A
view from the top of Mt Hobson, looking west over Port
Fitzroy.
Here
are a couple of photos of the bush on the ridge walk
approaching Mt Hobson.
It is an interesting mix of hardwoods, beech and kauri
trees.
Sitting in the forest under the mountain is a nice place to
have lunch, and to contemplate to route to follow next, as
there are several options that you can take from Mt Hobson.
