After the late afternoon rain diamond droplets glint in the light on the golden iris.

These are the words on the monument I can make out from this photograph.
The Cascade Brewery located perfectly in front of Mt Wellington. It is the oldest brewery operating on its original site in Australia. It sits beside the Hobart Rivulet which runs right under and through the City. I used to think the Cascade Beer was rather good, yet recently I tried it again and it wasn't as I remembered. Still its a nice old building. I will go back to this spot as the wind was horrendous today and the vegetation is all over the place.
