Separated from mainland Australia by a 429 kilometer stretch of Bass Strait, Tasmania is a land apart – a green island of wild mountainous and beautiful landscapes, friendly welcoming people, temperate climate, a spirited history and a creative arts community all wrapped up in a relaxed lifestyle. Hobart is Tasmania’s capital city and the second oldest capital in Australia, after Sydney. Located at the entrance to the Derwent River, its well-preserved surrounding bush land reaches close to the city center while beaches line the shores of the river and estuary beyond. Hobart offers a contrasting blend of heritage, scenery and culture, with world class activities and attractions nearby. Nestled amongst the foothills of Mt Wellington, Hobart combines heritage charm with a modern lifestyle in a setting of exceptional beauty. It’s no wonder Lonely Planet has called Hobart one of the top ten spots to visit in the world right now.
