High in the hills overlooking Hobart, Mount Nelson offers one of Tasmania’s most captivating viewpoints. From this elevated perch, visitors are treated to panoramic vistas that stretch across Hobart, the winding Derwent River, and, on clear days, reach as far as Bruny Island and the vast expanse of Storm Bay. But this lookout isn’t just about the views—it’s also a gateway to Tasmania’s maritime past, anchored by the historic Mount Nelson Signal Station.
