Mount Wellington

Looking for astounding panoramic views of Hobart? Then look no further, its right in front of you; the staggering Mount Wellington. The journey up Mount Wellington can be likened to a rainbow; from pleasant rainforest, to gorgeous sub-alpine flora, to chilly but spectacular rock formations with impressive views. Tasmanian Aboriginals roamed Mount Wellington (named Kunanyi) for the last 40,000 years and this remarkable place has a long and fascinating history for you to discover on your own adventure.

Explore the 4167 ft giant in many different ways; there is a 14 mile road to drive along which was constructed back in the days of the Great Depression, buses 48 and 49 will drop you off halfway up at Fern Tree, where you can trek up to the summit and back again to catch your bus within around 5 hours. For those of you feeling a little more active, why not throw your hand at a spot of abseiling and cycling, or maybe you fancy doing a spot of camping underneath the sparkling night sky with a wonderful barbeque to reward your days activities. Whatever you decide to do Mount Wellington is a treat to remember.
