Hobart and Surrounds, Tasmania Australia
Known as the Harbor Capital, Hobart is steeped in maritime heritage and has a timeless charm. Wander along Salamander Place, peruse the many cafes that have taken up residence in the old sandstone warehouses. Take a cruise on the harbour or see the harbour and nearby islands from the top of Mt. Wellington- what a spectacular view. Travel out of the city, and remnants of the old colonial life abounds in the 19th century buildings of the towns and villages in the surrounding countryside. Nearby Port Arthur, is among the most significant convict era sites in the world.
