RussTHE WILD… We made the walk to Mt Connection on a fine day in March, no wind, clear blue sky and excellent views across the landscape.At 1132m high and with a prominence of 134 metres above the range (height of the summit relative to the lowest contour line encircling it), like the rest of the Wellington Range Mt Connection is composed of the igneous rock, dolerite, formed during the Middle Jurassic period around 175 million years ago.The trail tracks through the range’s subalpine zone and is exposed to sun, wind and weather for most of its length so a hat, wind/waterproof jacket, water, food and sturdy hiking shoes or boots are advisable. It can be snowy in winter and powerful, cold winds can blow in from the southwest at any time of year. Marcus Aurelius advises us that ‘The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way’. In other words, ‘the problem is the solution’. But, not on this mild day when we walked the track. We encountered no problems and the exertion of the descents and ascents offered no impediment.This is an in-and-out route of approximately 12km with excellent views into the Derwent Valley to the east and into Southwest Tasmania in the other direction. On a clear day, Precipitous Bluff, far away on the southern coast of Tasmania, is visible on the horizon.READ THE STORY HERE: <a href="https://medium.com/pacificedge/on-foot-to-mt-connection-de3274e50332?source=friends_link&sssssk=31e494e00f7f0e5eb1c64ef67e570b1423042" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://medium.com/pacificedge/on-foot-to-mt-connection-de3274e50332?source=friends_link&sssssk=31e494e00f7f0e5eb1c64ef67e570b1423042</a><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/bushwalking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bushwalking</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/hiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hiking</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/MtWellington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MtWellington</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/MtConnection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MtConnection</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Tasmania" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tasmania</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/mountains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mountains</a>
