Save the most dramatic view for last as your vehicle begins the winding ascent through temperate rainforests and sub-alpine glacial rock formations up to the rugged peak of Mt Wellington (kunanyi). Towering 1,271 meters directly above the city, the summit offers an unmatched, panoramic bird’s-eye view of the entire Hobart cityscape, the labyrinth of waterways making up the Derwent River, and the endless expanse of the Southern Ocean. Standing on the wind-swept observation decks in the crisp, alpine air provides the ultimate visual crescendo to your day—the perfect, awe-inspiring photo opportunity to conclude your Tasmanian journey before you make a comfortable descent back to your city drop-off point.
