This one is a beautiful lookout with views over the Derwent River and out towards the D’Entrecasteaux Channel. 

If you can’t go to Mt Wellington, it’s a nice alternative for great scenic views of the area.

It’s a short walk from the carpark to the old signal tower, with a few historical signs explaining how messages were relayed across the coast in the 1800s.
