The Organ Pipes are a fascinating formation of vertical dolerite columns on the slopes of kunanyi / Mount Wellington. These columns were formed by the cooling and contraction of molten rock, creating a dramatic cliff face that resembles a giant pipe organ. This site is one of Tasmania's most distinctive geological features that rises above Hobart, and is worth a pause along the track to take in the stunning beauty and capture some memorable photos.
