Join “Platypus Guardian” Pete Walsh for an easy walk along the Hobart Rivulet, where you’ll discover Pete’s platypus-spotting strategies, and with a bit of luck, spot one for yourself. Learn about platypus habitats and behaviour, the challenges they face in the waterway, and what we can do to help protect their environment. Summer is platypus breeding season, when males tend to be quite active, and we might even get to observe some mating behaviours! This is an easy walk along a level trail, which is generally wheelchair accessible. However, please note we may occasionally walk along sloping ground to get closer to the water. Participants can stay on the main trail, but those with limited mobility should be aware they might miss small sections of the tour. The regular walk will start and finish at C3, 64 Anglesea St, near the playground. The family friendly mini walk will start at the Cascade Gardens, near the car park, and finish on the Rivulet Track near C3.

This beginner-friendly guided bike ride is the best way to experience the magnificence of Hobart's Mt. Wellington. Starting at the South Hobart office, riders collect their hire bike and helmet. Next, they hop on a shuttle bus and are taken on a delightful drive to the summit of Mt. Wellington. After a brief stop-off at the summit to take in the incredible views, riders have the option to ride the thrilling summit road descent or descend on the bus. After descending the summit road, guests reboard the bus and are driven to the next trail - the Pipeline Track. This easy-to-ride, off-road nature trail meanders gently down through Mt Wellington's temperate rainforest. Along the way experience towering eucalyptus, duck under giant ferns, visit a waterfall, pass under historic aqueducts, gaze into crystal clear babbling streams, and catch a glimpse of some curious local wildlife. The tour lasts approx 4 hours and finishes at the office of Tasmanian Mountain Bike Adventures. Guests need to be comfortable on a bike with good basic bike handling skills. A low level of fitness is needed as the ride is pretty much downhill all the way. This tour has vehicle support and a trail guide.
