Glenorchy is Tasmania’s fourth largest city. It is located on the western shore of the River Derwent below the imposing, Mount Wellington. Settled in 1804, Glenorchy was primarily an agricultural centre for the first 100 years of its settlement, until the zinc smelter at Lutana commenced operations and transformed Glenorchy into the industrial hub of southern Tasmania. For those passing through, the area offers plenty of scenic locations to go for a walk, from a foreshore stroll to challenging bushwalks in the foothills of Mount Wellington.
