Mount Nelson

Mount Nelson (MOWNT-NEL-sən; Nuenonne/palawa kani: Kriwalayti) is a 362 m (1,188 ft) peak on the southern edge of Hobart, Tasmania. It is part of the Wellington Range and is notable for its views of the River Derwent, as well as its historical and cultural significance. The summit is home to the Mount Nelson Signal Station, established in 1811 to relay semaphore messages between Hobart and Port Arthur. It is also part of the Truganini Conservation Area, a key habitat for endangered species like the swift parrot, and features bushwalking trails through native forest.
