Hobart
Sprawling across the foothills of kunanyi/Mount Wellington, Hobart is the lively riverfront capital of Tasmania. It was founded as a British penal colony in 1804 before becoming the Southern Ocean’s main whaling port. Today, Hobart draws on its heritage charm, stunning natural setting and flourishing foodie scene as a captivating gateway to the “Apple Isle”.
No visit to Hobart is complete without wandering through the Salamanca Market, which takes place each Saturday backed by an enchanting row of sandstone warehouses. A steep climb up Kelly’s Steps will take you to one of Hobart’s oldest suburbs, Battery Point, whose historic streets are lined with quaint Georgian cottages, antique stores and cafes.
In Salamanca’s nooks and crannies, you’ll find some of the city’s best restaurants, many of which draw on the island’s fresh and artisan produce. For something more casual, stroll to the nearby fishmonger punts to feast on seafood hauled from the Southern Ocean. For gourmet treats to go, you can’t go past the Farm Gate Market, which is a local favourite on Sunday mornings.
Catamarans whisk visitors up the Derwent River to the world-renowned Museum of Old and New Art, which houses a thought-provoking collection of ancient, modern and contemporary art in its underground galleries. Hobart also serves as an ideal base for discovering Tasmania’s convict history at Port Arthur or exploring the waterfalls and glacial lakes of Mount Field National Park.
