Views, views, views and...?

We know that Rosny Hill is not just all about the views. Unfortunately that is a commonly held opinion.

Who uses the Lookout?

Photographers delight in this site, which looks west to kunanyi / Mt Wellington and Hobart City and north to south along the Derwent Estuary. They do not usually stay to long as there are no facilities other than a small car park and signage.

A quick snap or two then off again

Views from the lookout in all directions. This amazed tourist that we spoke to has photographs from all over Europe.

What Tourists Say

You can find some  opinions on Tripadvisor, along with more photographs

How will the beautiful lookout views impact on Rosny Hill?

They could possibly:

• be appreciated in comfort by the provision of moderate  facilities such as toilets and shelter sheds for day trippers
• be exploited as a selling point for a major tourist accommodation and conference facility, which would put a large footprint on the existing area and threaten many of the natural values. Rosny Hill is a Biodiversity Protection Area - High Risk

Rosny Hill Friends Network is not anti - development. Development needs to be of an appropriate scale for this urban island of regenerating forest.
