Tasmania Travel Guide

Let's start with Hobart...
Tasmania's capital city with an intriguing blend of heritage and lifestyle,scenery and vibrant culture. Hobart is warm sandstone, bright spinnakers on the River Derwent, fish punts at the docks, the slap of halyards on masts, coffee under the striped sun umbrellas of Salamanca, an occasional frosting of snow on Mt.Wellington, bush tracks and birdsong. Hobart is a city of history, with gracious homes and buildings, colonial cottages and warehouse,heritage parks and gardens.

Trust me..it's the best destination in the world.
Hobart is a city of bustling markets, fun, a flourishing arts scene,festival, and entertainment, and of fine restaurants. Savour Tasmania's superb cool-climate wines,famous beers, and delicious, fresh foods.

Definitly the Boag's tour is worth it! And the hike to the gorge is a must! Make sure (in warm weather, anyways) to bring your swimsuit, it is a really nice spot for a dip. Stayed at the Arthouse Backpackers which was great.
