Hobart is the State Capital of Tasmania, the large Island situated to the south of the Australian continent. First
settled by the British in 1803 as a Penal Colony, it is one of Australia's oldest cities and is full of history. This busy seaport is a popular port of call for Cruise Ships with plenty of tour
options available. Visit the Cadbury factory or the Cascade Brewery for tours and tastings, explore Mount Wellington, at 1271 meters high, it dominates the city skyline. Cruise up the Derwent
River, to explore further inland. Don't miss a visit to see the famous Tasmanian Devil, an angry little beast, noted for its unnerving cry. |
