Rosny Hill Lookout

Hobart


For a classic view of Hobart, the Derwent River and the hulking mass of kunanyi/Mt Wellington in the background, drive up to this seldom-visited hilltop lookout. Council thoughtfully lops the tops off any trees that dare impede the view. To get here, cross the Tasman Bridge, head for Rosny, turn right at the lights onto Riawena Rd and follow the signs.
