100 Best Views In Australia #67 Mount Wellington, TAS

Where is it?

About 20km west of Hobart, Pinnacle Road, Wellington Park

How to see it for yourself?

Drive to the summit following Pinnacle Road. In winter, the road can close due to snow or ice cover so check beforehand. The lookout is a two-minute walk from the car park. Various tracks allow you to bushwalk, cycle or horse-ride.

Why I love it

“The view facing west is like a trip back to the time of dinosaurs. There is something eerie yet beautifully breathtaking. When the sun is setting on you and the wind is still you couldn’t feel more at peace.” – Michael Walters
