lEFt: Hobart Botanical gardens RigHt: Salamanca Markets
One of the best ways to see a harbour city is with a cruise and you can head up river to Moorilla Vineyard or down river to the Wrest Point Casino from Watermans Dock. For more sightseeing, take the thirty-minute drive through Alpine forest, to the top of Mt Wellington for panoramic views of the city and harbour.
Visit Anglesea Barracks, the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens and for something interactive, take Louisa’s Walk, a piece of strolling theatre giving an insight to the life of an Irish convict. Many people hire a car when visiting Tasmania; why not try something a little different by hiring a classic car. Enjoy the scenery, colonial history and wildlife whilst travelling in a classic convertible.
A visit to Hobart is not complete without a trip to Seven Mile Beach. Here you will find an unspoilt village of approximately four hundred houses surrounded by three pristine golf courses and a seven- mile long swimming beach, safe for children. The beach sits between a picturesque hill at one end and sand dunes at the other.
Just twenty minutes from the city of Hobart, Seven Mile Beach is a coastal reserve, overlooking Frederick Henry Bay. This is a beach for long walks, sail boarding or surfing. Beyond the beach you will find dunes and pine forests perfect for horse riding. The reserve offers picnic facilities as well as showers and amenities blocks. At the western end of the beach a general store is conveniently located along with a children’s playground and holiday accommodation.
If you walk to Sandy Point, you can watch the yachts and fishing boats then look out to Spectacle Islands, which is home to an array of sea birds, including the little penguin. If you happen to be there at low tide, walk around the point to Five Mile Beach.
An Australian modern metropolis, Hobart justly serves as Tasmania’s capital. A combination of colonial heritage with contemporary cuisine, vibrant activity and incredible scenery, Hobart will engage you every minute of your holiday. EV
