Hobart

Hobart (Tasmania)

Tasmania, a small island south of Australia has been isolated from the rest of Australia for more than 10,000 years.

Hobart is the capital city of Tasmania. It is the second oldest capital city in Australia, with Sydney being the first. Therefore, tourists to Hobart can expect a degree of history and a journey back in time to learn more about the past of Australia.

Water related activities dominate Hobart and it is known as a place of yachts, fishing boats and cafes by the sea. Local arts and craft markets ensure that the traditional touch is not lost.

Tasman Peninsular and the Port Arthur are well-known historic sites. Tourists can either walk along the cliffs at Port Arthur or take a cruise that brings them to within metres of cliffs that rise more than 300 metres. You can also take a drive to the top of Mount Wellington and experience amazing view.

There are various accommodation opportunities available in Hobart. They range from budget accommodation to hotels and resorts with breath-taking views from your room.

To experience a different way of travelling within Australia, tourists can take the popular ship, Spirit of Tasmania to reach Davenport (in the north of Tasmania) from Melbourne
