About Hobart

Hobart, the capital of Tasmania, is a harbour city of sandstone warehouses and colonial cottages beneath the slopes of Mount Wellington.

Hobart sits where the Derwent River widens into a deep harbour, with Mount Wellington rising behind it to more than 1,200 metres, often dusted with snow in winter. Founded in 1804, it is the second-oldest of Australia's capital cities. The sandstone warehouses of Salamanca Place, the cottages of Battery Point and the yachts moored at Constitution Dock give the waterfront its character.

Top-ranked sights in Hobart: Bruny Island, Richmond Village, Mt. Wellington (Kunanyi).
