Cable Car over Mt Wellington's Organ Pipes 7-Aug-2014 At 9:57:20 PM Climboholic
Message
It would certainly be convenient, but does convenience rate higher as a value than preserving the feel of wilderness right on Hobart's doorstep? In the end it will come down to money. I tend to think that whilst a cable car may attract families and retirees, it will discourage the adventurous tourist who tends to visit Tassie for the hiking and outdoors. I experienced this when I visited Christchurch and intentionally avoided the cable car to drive up instead. If they closed the road it would become more financially viable, but surely it wouldn't be legal for National Parks to close a road to prop up a commercial enterprise.

If there was a cable car up Mt Wellington when I first visited in 2005, I wouldn't have the fond memory of hitch hiking adventures due to all the hire cars in Hobart being booked.
