Inside tip · Hobart

Myth or legit: on kunanyi / Mount Wellington, snow only falls in winter.

Answer: Myth

Myth. Hobart City Council says icy winds, snow, low cloud and heavy rain can occur at any time of year.

The summit is likely about 6°C colder than The Springs, and wind makes it feel colder still. Bring warm, waterproof clothing. Hypothermia can set in fast. In an emergency, call 000.
