Kunanyi/ Mount Wellington

Get close to the weather at kunanyi / Mount Wellington’s airy Pinnacle. Some days you can see far and wide, across the Tasman Sea and into the wild South West National Park, World Heritage Area. On other days, you cannot see your shoes!

Many visitors journey up Pinnacle Road to the lookout, also taking in other sites along the way including the Springs and Chalet. From the Springs, the walk to Sphinx Rock is a great opportunity to stretch your legs with rewarding views of the mountain’s Organ Pipes, and Hobart and the Derwent River below.

A mobile food van operates at The Springs from Wednesday to Sunday. There are gas fired BBQs at The Springs but pack your lunch or a BBQ if visiting other parts of the Park. From a grassy glade to a sheltered stone cabin, there’s a range of locations as detailed below. At some locations visitors can enjoy an open fire in designated fire places (except during total fire bans). Fire wood is sometimes provided, but to be certain bring your own as collecting firewood in the Park is not permitted.
