The strange thing is that I've walked this track in the past, and didn't have any trouble locating it - in fact I didn't recall there being a track that continued up to Mt Wellington at all...
I'm guessing you passed "Municipality Cairn" marking the intersection of Kingborough, Hobart and Glenorchy? (its a big rock with a red dot, an "M" and an arrow painted on it). If so then you walked up onto Thark Ridge.
As you walk along the plateau between Mt Montague and Thark ridge, Wellington Falls track starts at the end of the flat where the track you are following suddenly kicks uphill.
Give or take 100m or so, Wellington Falls track starts around about here (there's a pretty distinct cairn there somewhere and blue tape further along the route proper):
