Introduction
Mount Wellington rises about 1,271 m west of Hobart — Tasmania's most recognisable landmark. Windy and often snow-capped, its summit overlooks the city and the Derwent estuary; between sea of clouds and clear sky, it is a grand lookout between the Tasmanian coast and the Antarctic route. Trails thread rainforest and boulders, and the Springs station midway frames Hobart in full.
