Mount Wellington Park
Although protected as a reserve and not a national park, Wellington Park contains a wealth of wilderness right on Hobart's doorstep, with majestic kunanyi/Mount Wellington towering above the city. Only in Tasmania would you find so much wilderness and natural beauty so close to the city - 18,000 hectares of it just a 20-minute drive away.
Wellington Park connects Hobart's urban landscape to the bush and can be reached from several points including central Hobart, the suburb of Glenorchy and several out-of-town areas.
There are many ways to enjoy the beautiful natural features of the park, including walking tracks that lead into the park from the city and suburbs. Walks range from easy strolls to tough climbs through cool forests and past springs, cascades, waterfalls and the soaring dolerite columns of the Organ Pipes. The cliffs here are also perfect for rock climbing and abseiling.
