Hobart (Tasmania)

Explore quaint, historic towns; see the exquisite countryside of apple orchards and wineries. The climate's blend of generous sunshine and cool Antarctic breezes helps Hobart to produce its acclaimed wines, and thick clumps of pinot noir grapes hang from the vineyards. Enjoy spectacular views from mountaintop aeries. See wombats, emus and the famed Tasmanian devil at a wildlife park or visit the historic penal colony at Port Arthur. Stroll through Hobart and its lovely botanical garden.

A former British penal colony, nowadays Australia's second-oldest city is a place to live the free and easy life. Thirsty? Hobart has a long brewing tradition - so enjoy a refreshing ale poured from the country's oldest brewery.
