See that mountain in the previous photograph with the white tower on top? That's Mount Wellington, 4100 feet, right behind Hobart. Mike decided to ride his rented bicycle up there. Mike lives in Denmark, where the highest point in the whole country is 590 feet. He bikes all the time at home but never gets to go up mountains on his bike. Dave drove up and met Mike at the top because they both figured that riding down would go through a set of brakes on the bicycle. So the bike was in the back of the car for the ride down, not up.
The next photo gives a sense of where the prison at Port Arthur is. On the most distant piece of land, Port Aurthur would be to the right, off the photo.
