The Shy Mountain
Silent and brooding, the Shy Mountain does not have to speak her name. We know she¿s there, watching us, even when she chooses to hide beneath a blanket of low cloud. Although she¿s not a mountain of legend like Everest, Kilimanjaro or even Kosciuszko, she has her own claim to fame. kunanyi / Mount Wellington brings wilderness to the very doorstep of a significant centre of population, and how many mountains can claim to do that?Some see menace, anger there; others a benign face bathed in early morning sunshine.As Donald Knowler discovers on a mission to record a year in the life of the 1,271-metre peak, she provides an escape from the human pressures of the city, blunting concrete and glass with leaf and bark. kunanyi / Mount Wellington is also a vital refuge for wildlife with strands of the tallest flowering plants known to nature, and birds and animals found nowhere outside Tasmania.These, and more, are the Shy Mountain¿s gifts to Hobart.
