Hobart and Southern Tasmania
Hobart and Southern Tasmania is a place for all tastes and all seasons, a region of endless opportunity for the pursuit of pleasure, for adventure and for discovering Tasmania's past.
In historic Hobart, the lifestyle is cosmopolitan and indulgence knows no bounds. Restaurants by the river, picnics by the sea and oysters by the dozen with fine Tasmanian wines. Stroll along the cobbled lanes of Salamanca Place and Battery Point or through the ruins of Port Arthur where the spirits of the convicts linger on. Cruise the tranquil waters of the beautiful River Derwent and the D'Entrecasteaux Channel to the bays of Bruny Island.
In spring the Huon Valley blossoms and Hobart's tulips bloom. The East Coast suns itself in long, lazy summer days and the River Derwent is splashed with spinnakers. In autumn the Derwent Valley blazes in glorious reds, yellows and gold as nature turns on an exuberant display of colour -- an awe-inspiring spectacle. Winter in the sun -- days of clear blue skies, white-capped mountains, a chance to ski or frolic in the snow.
Venture into Tasmania's South-West World Heritage Area or the highlands and explore some of the most accessible and unspoilt wilderness areas in the world.
There's much to discover in southern Tasmania -- it's awesome, breathtaking and beautiful.
