Introduction
Tasmania’s capital, Hobart, is rich in heritage charm and blessed with a beautiful setting on the bay at the head of the Derwent River, overlooked by Mount Wellington. Hobart is a city from a bygone era and its European beginnings are evident in the old-fashioned cottages, sandstone warehouse conversions and colonial mansions lining the streets. Within a short drive of Hobart you can visit the Port Arthur historic convict site, World Heritage wilderness and cool-climate wineries.
