"Many great cities have a great mountain watching over them. For Hobart, that’s Mount Wellington. A 30-minute drive takes you to the Pinnacle, which affords 180-degree vistas over Hobart and the islands rising between the Tasman Sea and the Derwent River. “Rug up,” as they say in Australia , especially in winter when the observation shelter is closed and you’re at the mercy of those “southerly” winds from Antarctica . If you need to warm up, grab a hot drink at the Lost Freight shipping container café at the Springs picnic area. Outdoor activities nearby include mountain biking, four-wheel-drive excursions, horseback riding, and rock climbing, but it really doesn’t get much better than a sunrise or sunset over the snaking Derwent River."

"The Howling Wind The view of Hobart atop Mt. Wellington is stunning, but the gale force wind will shock you. Be prepared to walk at a 30 degree angle! By Rob Hughes"

The views from the peak are stunningly beautiful. We waited for a clear sky day to come here and spent nearly two hours absorbing everything before our eyes. Simply love this place!!! Although the travel time from Hobart City to here is not too long, the drive up and down can be pretty overwhelming.

Breathtaking views. There are smaller stops on the way up if you don't want to drive all the way up. Roads are narrow so watch out. The change of vegetation as you drive up is interesting to see. About 1h is sufficient to spend up here with less than 1.5h return trip to Hobart

Beautiful and ethereal landscape that is super easily accessible. It is like an alien landscape akin to Iceland on the Cape of Good Hope. It is cold and windy with many beautiful marsupials wandering around, definitely a must do when within the state of Tasmania.

Mt Wellington is an absolute must-visit when in Tasmania! The views from the summit are breathtaking — you can see all of Hobart, the river, and the surrounding wilderness stretching out as far as the eye can see. The drive up is scenic and well worth it, with plenty of spots to stop and take in the fresh air and stunning landscapes. Whether you’re into hiking, photography, or just soaking in nature, Mt Wellington delivers an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend adding this to your itinerary!

Mount Wellington took my breath away—literally and figuratively. The view from the summit was absolutely stunning, with sweeping sights of Hobart, the ocean, and the vast landscape below. The cool, crisp air, combined with the stillness at the top, made the experience feel peaceful and powerful. The rocks, the clouds, and the feeling of standing above everything—it was a moment of pure awe. A must-visit for anyone who loves nature and breathtaking views.

Visited at 5:30 PM. It was freezing cold, but the view was absolutely stunning! A memorable spot in Wellington Park.

Stunning views over Hobart at sun down, weather conditions change rapidly given how far up you are on the mountain. Lots of places to stop and take photos on your drive up/down and you'll even see some native wildlife. Worth the trip, allow a couple of hours so you can drive to the top and checkout the views from the lookout facilities.

Beautiful views, you need to pick the weather, was very busy so get in before the rush or avoid peak holiday times. A must do when in Hobart
