As Singapore prepares to celebrate it’s 42nd year of nationhood, students from all over Tasmania, Australia came together on the weekend for a huge party.

The venue for this year’s Singapore Night was held at Wrest Point Hotel & Casino in Hobart. Everyone was dressed up in various traditional clothing of the many cultures that form a part of Singapore. The food was great with favorites from home like ‘fried hokkian seafood noodles’, ‘tandoori chicken’ and many more.
It was a wonderful day to spend in Hobart. The sun was out and a group of us had an enjoyable time browsing the eclectic stalls at Salamanca Market. The view of Mount Wellington was shrouded in misty clouds. Every now and then, we could catch a glimpse of the summit covered in white.
Just when we arrived at the foot of the hill, the barricades that stopped traffic at the springs (half way mark) was opened. We were greeted by a truck that had just cleared the roads as we drove up. The snow was falling gently and it was just magic.

No matter how many times I’ve visited Mount Wellington, it always reveals a new side of itself.
