Where is Kunanyi located?

Mount Wellington, officially known as Kunanyi / Mount Wellington Aboriginal: Unghbanyahletta or Poorawetter, is a mountain in the southeast coastal region of Tasmania, Australia. The mountain is the summit of the Wellington Range. The Capitol city of Tasmania, Hobart, is built in the foothills.

The mountain rises to 1,271 metres (4,170 ft) above sea level and is frequently covered by snow, sometimes even in summer. The lower slopes are thickly forested, and criss-crossed by many walking tracks and fire trails. There is also a sealed narrow road to the summit which is about 22 kilometres (14 mi) from Hobart central business district. An enclosed lookout near the summit provides spectacular views of the city below and to the east, the Derwent estuary, and also glimpses of the World Heritage Area nearly 100 kilometres (62 mi) west. It is one of Tasmania's biggest tourist destinations.

Viewed from Hobart, the most distinctive feature is the cliff of dolerite columns known as the Organ Pipes. Kunanyi was formed when the Australian continental shelf tore away from Antarctica, and separated from Gondwana over 40 million years ago. It is often incorrectly considered to be a dormant volcano.
