Share the track
A lot of our bushland tracks are Shared Use. This means they're built to be used by walkers, runners, and bike riders.
- Give way to each other: all users have equal right of way
- Listen and look out for others: make sure everyone has a safe experience on our tracks
- Keep left on wide trails: keeping left makes it easier for users to pass safely when needed.
Motorbikes are not permitted on Shared Use tracks.
Keep an eye out for signage on our tracks, which has more tips on how to share the track and care for the bush.
Stay safe on the mountain
Weather conditions can change quickly in Tasmania, and kunanyi / Mt Wellington is no exception.
Bushfires can start and spread quickly. If you plan to walk on days with elevated fire danger, carry a phone or Personal Locator Beacon, and have a carefully planned exit strategy. The park will be closed on days with dangerous fire weather.
In winter, conditions might be calm at The Springs, but the wind at the summit can bring the temperature down significantly. For example, in 2024 bushwalkers had to be rescued from the summit in temperatures that felt like -21ºC and wind gusts that were above 100km/h. Do not attempt to walk to the summit in snow or poor visibility unless you are very experienced, well prepared, and in the company of others.
