Days 1–5
A Tasmanian introduction in historic Hobart
Your adventure starts in the charming city of Hobart, Tasmania’s state capital established in 1804, and a place where old meets new. Victorian portside warehouses and historic gardens are mixed with cutting edge restaurants, galleries and cafes, and Australia’s oldest brewery contrasts with ultra-modern wineries – a vibe encapsulated at the incredible MONA (Museum of Old and New Art). Mingle with the locals at the weekly Salamanca Market (where you’ll find fine local produce, artisan crafts and antiques), and travel to the alpine wilderness of Mt Wellington, the 1270m peak, for spectacular panoramic views.
