‘Secret cameras’ hidden on a popular but currently-closed walking track on kunanyi/Mount Wellington have lead to fines for a number of walkers and runners flouting the rules in recent days.

“Images are HD and Hobart is a small place, so if you’re one of the unlucky few, expect a knock at your door or a letter on your floor,” they say.

The track is currently closed for a $500,000 upgrade project that will see areas affected by erosion fixed, alongside new drainage, steps and rock walls installed to make the track safer.
