Hobart Rivulet descends from kunanyi / Mount Wellington through South Hobart, then passes beneath the city before reaching the River Derwent. A shared path follows an accessible section between Molle Street and Cascade Gardens.
Follow the formed track
The City of Hobart’s measured return route is five kilometres. It passes former industrial ground, the Cascades Female Factory precinct and the brewery before turning at the gardens.
Share the corridor
Walkers, runners and riders use the same narrow path. Keep left, use safe crossings and keep dogs under the current rules. Platypuses live in the waterway, so watch quietly and never enter the channel.
Notice the hidden river
Below Molle Street, the rivulet enters culverts and runs beneath central streets. Surface markers help trace it, but tunnels and drains are unsafe and not public walking routes.
Continue into South Hobart, or visit the Cascades Female Factory for a focused account of the World Heritage site.
