Hike to the top of town

Kunanyi (Mount Wellington), which sits right on Hobart’s doorstep, is one of those impressive natural landmarks that awes locals just as much as tourists. Drive to your starting point – only the most diehard hikers dare to climb the whole thing – then pick your track. The 3.4-kilometre Springs to the Pinnacle walk includes trekking through lush forest that opens out to broad city views at the top. And as Hobartians will tell you of Tasmania’s famously mercurial weather: check the forecast and always take a jacket.
