    Mount Nelson

    A lookout that is a great, but lower altitude, alternative to the more popular Mount Wellington, still with some impressive views of Hobart and the Derwent River. There is also a restaurant and a picnic area at the top so you can bask in the views while having a bite to eat. For those who enjoy a leisurely trek there are two walks to climb up or down the mountain that lead to Sandy Bay near Wrest Point Casino or through the Truganini Reserve to the Channel Highway.
