The easiest quick way to get up to Mt Wellington The guide on the bus was knowledgeable and helpful. We are locals and didnt want to hassle with a car, we had a beautiful day with easy down hill walking, going down the Zigzag, looking at waratah and native daisy plus the spectacular views, then we stopped at the Springs for lunch, and continued via Radfords and Fern Glade tracks. The Fern Glade is my favourite and so beautiful. It was 3 hours of easy walking and 1 hour of rest stops.
