Separated from mainland Australia by the 240 kilometres (150 miles) stretch of Bass Strait, Tasmania is a land apart - a place of wild, mountainous and beautiful landscapes; friendly, welcoming people; temperate climate; quality wines and food; a spirited history; and a creative arts community - all wrapped up in a relaxed lifestyle.
More than 40 percent of the island is protected as World Heritage Area, national parks and state and marine reserves. In 2004, it was ranked third in the world for stewardship of its environment by National Geographic Traveler magazine's Sustainable Tourism Initiative Tasmania’s capital lies in the southeast of the State, near the mouth of the Derwent River at the foot of mighty Mount Wellington. The city offers the best of a capital city – good theatre, restaurant, galleries, shopping and services without the usual problems of crowding, traffic and alienation. The city has preserved the best of its history in the warm sandstone buildings, busy working harbour and dark green forested hills.
As you walk beside the River you will spot bright spinnakers on the water, fish punts at the docks and hear the call of fishermen unloading their catch. There is time to stop for coffee under the sun umbrellas of Salamanca Place before exploring the precinct.
The 19th century waterfront warehouses for which the city is famous once swarmed with whalers, soldiers, petty bureaucrats and opportunist businessmen. Now they house cafes, restaurants and studios and bustle with shoppers and visitors. Polished casement windows wink in the sunlight of Battery Point settlers’ cottages, and brass doorknobs gleam in the lofty porches of the city’s colonial edifices.
Hobart ’s busy arts scene takes in art, craft, music and theatre. Here you can enjoy Irish jigs or pub rock, street buskers and string quartets, and theatrical performances both classic and contemporary. In galleries and studios, our artists and craftspeople make bold and beautiful statements in timber, pigments, glass, ceramics and fabrics.
