Hobart and surrounds

Hobart is a scenic capital and famous for its Georgian buildings and crisp air. You can climb mount Wellington for sweeping views over Hobart and the wide Derwent river or you can also go for a ghost tour in Battery Point. Walk across Australia’s oldest bridge in Richmond and visit the cute coastal hamlet of Kettering. See bright spinnakers on the water and dine on fresh seafood from one of Hobart’s waterside restaurants.

Salamanca Market

This is one of those special places where you actually meet the people who create, make or grow what they sell. Set amongst the historic Georgian sandstone buildings of Salamanca Place in Hobart, this famous market attracts thousands of locals and visitors every Saturday. From the market, it is a short climb up historic Kelly's Steps to the Georgian cottages and the early maritime village atmosphere of Battery Point.

Museum of Old and New art

This museum is arguably one of the most controversial private collections of modern art and antiquities in the world. It is certainly the largest, located in Hobart and is described by its owner as a 'subversive adult Disneyland’. In all, the collection takes up three floors within a subterranean architectural masterpiece and is guaranteed to impress. With over 400 art works, the collection includes Sidney Nolan's Snake, Wim Delvoye's Cloaca Professional, a machine that turns food into excrement, and Chris Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary.

Mount Wellington

It is a wilderness experience, just a 20-minute drive from Hobart and is much loved by locals.

The park is loaded with natural assets, including the pink granite peaks of the Hazards that dominate the Peninsula and the iconic and much-photographed Wineglass Bay.
