The anomaly that has been the year 2020 has writ large one thing. Tasmanians love kunanyi/Mt Wellington – the Mountain. The fascination with Disappearing Tarn and a social media-led pilgrimage to this incredible phenomenon highlighted a powerful local connection to the Mountain and a widespread desire to experience it at its best – in its natural state.
It’s why 5000 people turned out on an overcast Autumn day in 2018, to rally against the desecration of kunanyi/Mt Wellington by a massive private commercial development on the pinnacle and a cable car that cuts directly across the iconic Organ Pipes.
