Follow the upper section of the popular Pipeline Track to the falls. Since 1861, the pipeline has supplied Hobart with its drinking water. When you reach the Cathedral Rock bend, the track leaves the pipeline and climbs to Wellington Falls. The entire walk is within the drinking water catchment so it’s important to keep to the designated track, leave no waste, and avoid contact with water. At Neika, the Pipeline Track continues in the opposite direction past Fern Tree down to its end point at Waterworks Reserve.

Wellington Falls Tracks 2
This challenging walk meanders through wet forest beside the boulder-strewn North West Bay River. The track then heads away from the river up a steep, zig-zagging, heart-testing climb to the towering dolerite columns of Cathedral Rock. The reward for your effort includes breathtaking views across southern Tasmania. This is the only walk in Kingborough that takes you to such giddy heights.
