When I first moved to nipaluna/Hobart last year one of the many amazing things that struck me was the ever-present majesty of kunanyi/Mt Wellington. At 1271 metres above sea level it looms over our city from seemingly every angle. Interestingly it only comes in as the 51st highest peak in Tasmania but is the highest in the Wellington Range. The views from the Pinnacle over the Greater Hobart area, Derwent estuary and Bruny Island, especially on a fine day, are spectacular. Criss-crossed by many walking tracks and fire trails suitable for riders, joggers and walkers, the mountain is great place to explore all year round. There are also options for animal lovers too with 75kms of fire trails which can be accessed for horse riding and a selection of dog friendly tracks.
