For the first time ever Hobart visitors and locals can hike, bike, run or pram along wide open tracks all the way from Waterworks Reserve up into the foothills of Kunanyi/Mt Wellington with the completion of the $800 000 Pipeline Track extension.
After years of planning, this two-kilometre new gravel track links the popular Waterworks Reserve with trails in Wellington Park, opening up exciting new opportunities for exploring Hobart's bushland parks.
The project has also uncovered a long-lost piece of architectural history, revealing a century old sandstone pipe-head well hidden in bushland.
The project was funded by the City of Hobart with support from the Local Government Association of Tasmania, which contributed $181 800 through its Open Spaces Grants Program.
