Astonishingly beautiful winter colour seen from an outlook above Hobart's Brooke Street Pier. In this view it is ALL piers. From the RHS, the Antarctic Supply Vessel Aurora Australis shines orange, and small harbour cruise boats are lined up along Waterman's Dock and Brooke St Pier itself. Further over Elizabeth Street Pier - with a hotel in the upper level of a redeveloped former wharf shed, looks over the King's Pier small boat and yacht anchorage. Last and to the distant left, the Port Control Tower stands over a tie up for the many cruise liners which visit Hobart in season. #hobart #tasmania #discovertasmania #xiaomi #xiaomilife #xiaomiMi5 #MI5 #nofilter
