Well worth a visit, and only takes a couple of hours out of your day. We took a small coach up Mt Wellington (about a half hour drive) from the Hobart Visitor Centre. The roads up Mt Wellington are very narrow, steep and winding, so if you're not fond of heights or are prone to vertigo, sit on the left... More

On a clear day it would offer a great view of Tasmania. Our visit included fog and horizontal snow. But it was a nice drive. More

Don't forget to wear something warm if you decide to visit Mount Wellington, as it can get very cold at the peak. It can take up to half an hour to drive from the base to the peak of the mountain and the roads are very narrow and steep, so you will need a head for heights! The views are... More

Get a totally different perspective on the Hobart environs when you make the trip to the top of Mt Wellington. If you're taking a car and employing a GPS, make sure that you're being directed to approach via Huon Rd toward Fern Tree. I don't know exactly where we were, but dirt tracks and hire cars are not meant to... More

Mount Wellington offer stunning views across Hobart and far beyond, almost to the east coast of Tasmania, it is wild, rugged and unspoilt. The weather can change without notice so take something warm to wear. More
