There are many bush walking options around Mt Wellington. We took the Organ Pipes walk which started at the upper section of The Springs. There is a car park at the bottom section of the Springs (where there is a map which shows all the walks around that area), but there is also a car park at the upper section (if you want to conserve your energy). You have to follow the Pinnacles Track for about half an hour before then branching off to the Organ Pipes Track. The Pinnacles Track is quite challenging, with consistent ascent for the whole 1/2 hour. The track has undergone works in 2017, so the quality of the track is excellent (still a bit rocky which helps with grip, hence not too slippery and not too difficult), although you do have to be reasonably fit to tackle this track. Once you go on the Organ Pipes Track, the Track becomes quite flat and easy to traverse. I say traverse because you are literally traversing the side of the mountain. We came across sections where large dolerite boulders seem to have broken off and tumbled down the mountain. I believe this section offers fantastic views of Hobart and Derwent River. However when we were there, the fog descended upon us, so there was nothing to see, and it was quite an eerie feeling being alone up in the mountain. After about 40 minutes, you come across the Organ Pipes rocks, and they are truly spectacular. Definitely worth visiting!

We walked from Kingston beach to taroona. A cruisy walk with views all the way. You pass some historical bits before Taroona like the Shot Tower. Got an Uber back to base.
