Two prominent peaks high above the Derwent Valley on the northern edge of the Wellington Range.
Wellington Park, forming Hobart’s dramatic backdrop, contains many secluded trails that offer interesting experiences within proximity to the state’s capital city.
One of these, the track to Collins Cap (1098m) and Collins Bonnet (1260m), on the northern edge of the Wellington Range, passes through a magnificent temperate rainforest remnant (including myrtle-beech, sassafras, leatherwoods, and laurels – all spared during the terrible 1967 bush fires that engulfed most of Mt Wellington) and ascends a wet gully with several very pretty waterfalls before climbing through a sub-alpine forest of snow gums and yellow gums.
On a clear day, the views from the top of these two dolerite peaks are breathtaking – New Norfolk and the Derwent Valley to the north, and Hobart and the Derwent Estuary to the east – and well worth the effort of the final scrambles over dolerite scree to the summits.

Our tour grading is based on Tasmania’s track classification system:
T1 – Easy to Moderate
Well defined and wide tracks on easy to moderate terrain, in slightly modified natural environments. You will require a modest level of fitness. Recommended for beginners.
T2 – Moderate
Narrower but distinct tracks which can be muddy in some places, in pristine natural environments. Facilities are minimal and you will encounter few other walkers. These moderate tours require reasonable level of fitness.
T3 – Challenging
You will experience marked but often-indistinct tracks, in very remote and wild areas. These challenging walks need a high level of fitness and some hiking experience.
T4 – Difficult
Tracks are often faint or unmarked in remote and craggy natural areas not included in our schedule, however we will guide selected parties on these tours on request.
