This was our second trip up Mt Wellington and fortunately the wind was not as strong this time. Last time we nearly were blown off the mountain. Stunning views - worth the 10 km or more drive to the top.

It was truly a blast!
The driver Scotty picked me up on a gloomy day from Pickled Frog. Soon after we were half way to the top, it started raining. About 700m above the sea level, we saw frost. By the time we reach the top, the temperature is about -12*C and we were well in the middle of a...

Did the mountain bike tour with wife and teenage daughter. Amazing views, windy and cold in January. Then the bike ride down to the wharf - thrilling! As would do it again it was so much fun!

I loved that you can see all the way down the channel and river but if it is cloudy while you are up there it can be a waste of time. The trip above the tree line is interesting and on a clear day it is definitely worth an hour or two. Better still climb it. Note the stream that...

Easy trip up the mountain (when roads are open) to capture a great perspective of Hobart and its coast.

Beautiful self drive up the mountain - deceiving from a distance as there is actually quite a pretty forest and a few bushwalks that can be done however the real treat is the view at the top. Worth a half hour or so clambering over the rocks and getting the 360 views. Wear proper shoes. Warm and sunny when we...

We went up here on a slightly overcast cloudy day. We did not have time to go again so just thought we would hope for the best!
Hope we did, but that was it. It was very cold and windy and could not really see anything of Hobart. Would have loved to experience it on a nice clear day, but...

We took a tour(shuttle Bus) to Mt Wellington's summit. This could so easily be an indifferent report. It all depends on the weather whether the tourist should visit here.
The blue sky, warmish temperatures in Hobart were the signals to visit.
We were not disappointed. It seemed we were on top of Tasmania as all corners of the state were...
