Mount Wellington has spectacular views of Hobart and the surrounds. The views extend to the Derwent River mouth, and even further. I will read up more and improve this information panel. The important thing is that you should go! Not many people visit the summit at night, but this is something I highly recommend.
There are several guided tours for around $40 for a half day. There is the hire car option, or you can take the local Metro bus. The bus goes to Fern Tree, costs about $3, and leaves from just around the corner from Central City Backpackers. There are several options of tracks when you get there, and it is about a 5 hour walk to the top and back from the bus stop.
On a serious note, the summit can be extremely cold, even if it is nice down below. Take something windproof and warm. |
