That is nice flight video.
There are some nice ones about Hobart taking off form Mt Wellington which it is tricky because the few landing options.

Whilst on a cruise, when in Hobart, a year or so ago, SWMBO & I , with some friends, hired a van, got to the top of Mt Wellington, in January, the wind was gale force, & below zero, had to be. Hardy souls, wind surfing there. Bob

Couple days ago was blowing 147 kph up there. Nice not set camping

There is another one of para gliding form Mt Wellington landing next to the yacht Clubs in Sandy Bay which it is nice

Thank goodness there are still some hardy people willing to push the limits of mundane existence. I would, but my football knee.... you know, Bob
