HOBART City

SMALL PHOTO & INFORMATION PAGE

HOBART is the lovely, historic, capital city of Tasmania. It is almost as old as Sydney, but unlike Sydney, it has kept much of its historic character. It boasts a beautiful harbour, a towering mountain and many historic and cultural attractions. Hobart is located in the south east of Tasmania. Many of the most famous attractions of southern Tasmania are less than one hour from Hobart. Many tours begin and end in Hobart. My website covers Hobart in 8 separate pages that are listed below.

Hobart is physically divided by the Derwent River into a western and an eastern shore, popularly called BELLERIVE. The SOUTH of HOBART is also fairly isolated from the NORTH of HOBART by the traffic restrictions of the Hobart CBD. However, it is quite easy to drive around Hobart, except at the peak hours. A wise visitor, though, would consider these restrictions in terms of where they chose to stay.

From the Hobart CBD you are 20 minutes from PONTVILLE, 40 minutes from SORELL, HUONVILLE, BRUNY ISLAND and RICHMOND and 70 minutes from GEEVESTON, NEW NORFOLK and KEMPTON. You are 100 minutes from SOUTHPORT, PORT ARTHUR, OATLANDS and MARIA ISLAND. Nearby places are described in the REGION HOBART and REGION HUON pages.

FACILITIES: Hobart is the largest city in Tasmania. If you can't buy it in Hobart, then you are unlikely to buy it in Tasmania. There is much accommodation in GREATER HOBART.

TOURIST general information is located at 20 Davey Street, Hobart. The telephone is (03) 6230 8233

SIGHTS & ROUTES: Hobart City is a unique and very interesting historic city. Risdon Cove was first settled in 1803 and when this proved unsuitable, Hobart Town was founded in 1804. There are many historic buildings to see within walking distance of the Hobart CBD. I recommend all of the following attractions. These are shown on my Hobart Region Map above. These include:
