Hobart from Mount Wellington Webcam, Tasmania
Live webcam shows the city of Hobart from Mount Wellington, Tasmania, Australia.
Mount Wellington, located in southeastern Tasmania about 15 km (9 miles) west of downtown Hobart — the state capital — rises to 1,271 meters (4,170 feet) above sea level. Its slopes are covered with numerous walking trails, and a narrow paved road leads all the way to the summit.
The drive from central Hobart to the peak is roughly 22 km (14 miles). The lower slopes are blanketed with dense eucalyptus forest, while the summit is often dusted with snow, even during summer months. One of the mountain’s most striking features, clearly visible from Hobart, is the dramatic cliff formation known as the Organ Pipes.
Mount Wellington is one of Tasmania’s most popular tourist destinations. Its slopes feature scenic waterfalls, and the Organ Pipes cliffs are a favorite spot for rock climbers. At the summit, visitors can enjoy an observation area that offers breathtaking panoramic views of Hobart, the Derwent River, and the surrounding landscape on clear days.
