kunanyi Mount Wellington

It is a consistent sign of the untainted wild that lies on the doorstep of this waterfront capital.

Travelers can take after a winding 21 km mountain road to the Pinnacle, frequently sprinkled with snow, for dazzling points of view over Hobart, the Derwent Valley, and the D'Entrecasteaux Channel. At the summit, promenades provoke sweeping viewpoints, and a structure indicates old photographs of Hobart and Mount Wellington.

The mountain is a prominent spot for biking and climbing through the calm rainforests, while the unmistakable Organ Pipes, a dolerite precipice, is eminent for its great shake climbing. Those setting out to the summit should dress warmly as the climate here is famously flighty.
