SIGHTS & ROUTES: Bellerive is the heart of the richer eastern shore of Hobart. It is a land of yachts and homes with awesome harbour views. There are also good restaurants in Bellerive. From Bellerive you can also drive to south towards Lauderdale and see many other beautiful beaches and bays. Alternatively, you can drive east to PORT ARTHUR or the EAST COAST. The sights of Bellerive include:

BELLERIVE MARINA dominates Kangaroo Bay. Here you will see many yachts and attractive homes, which have awesome views across the Harbour. From the HOBART CBD you simply drive east onto the A3 Tasman Highway, which crosses the famous Tasman Bridge to the eastern shore. Just across the Bridge turn south at the roundabout and follow Rosny Park Road and then drive south on Cambridge Street to reach Bellerive.

A great walk begins at the Bellerive shopping precinct. This follows Victoria Esplanade to the south west. Here you can see stately homes with awesome Harbour views. The walk ends at the impressive Kangaroo Bluff Fort.

KANGAROO BLUFF FORT is a major historic sight. Its guns used to dominate the Harbour and thus there are great harbour views. You can explore a fortification complex and learn a bit about the past. However, beware as there are some dangerous drops, where the trenches suddenly appear. Just follow Victoria Esplanade south west from the Bellerive shopping area.

ROSNY HILL LOOKOUT gives you great views of the Harbour. From the HOBART CBD you simply drive east onto the A3 Tasman Highway, which crosses the famous Tasman Bridge to the eastern shore. Just across the Bridge turn south at the roundabout and follow Rosny Park Road, until you reach Riawena Road, which goes west to the summit of Rosny Park Hill.
