Mt. Wellington ​

The 21 km drive to the summit passes through temperate rainforest to sub-alpine flora and glacial rock formations, and ends with panoramic views of Hobart, Bruny Island, the D'Entrecasteux Channel and into the South West Wilderness.
The summit features a landscape of sub-alpine flora and lichen-encrusted boulders and is regularly snow-capped during the colder months
​
When you decide to drive along Pinnacle Drive to the top of Mount Wellington, check with Wellington Park or the Hobart City Council first because the road is sometimes closed due to snow, fog, fire or other hazardous conditions. You’ll also want to take something warm to wear, even if it’s sunny in Hobart itself, because the temperature at the top is usually at least 8 degrees lower than down in the city. In fact, it’s a good idea to layer your clothes and take lots of sunscreen too, since all the variety that Mount Wellington has to offer also includes four seasons in one day.
​At over 1,280mts. its a high hill and we drove up to the top and the road is a little rough and with a slow car in front that slowed every time a car got close as the is not that wide and if you are worried about heights, get someone else to drive, we were lucky that it was a clear afternoon with the wind blowing it was mostly clear as you will see in Photos
