A perfect blend of history, heritage, wilderness, food and wine, Southern Tasmania is the perfect tourist destination.

From the vibrant city of Hobart to the historic town of Richmond you will find intriguing buildings, gracious homes, beautiful parks and gardens. Further to the south east is the breathtaking Tasman Peninsula. Admire the untouched beauty of the pristine beaches and tall sea cliffs. The historic site of Port Arthur can bee seen overlooking the bay, take a day trip or if time allows spend a couple of nights to explore one of Australia's most important historic sites.

The largest city and capital of Tasmania, Hobart is the second oldest capital in Australia (Sydney being the oldest). Hobart sits on the Derwent River with Mount Wellington providing a dramatic backdrop. The 19th century warehouses which line the waterfront were once home to whalers, soldiers and bureaucrats. The popular waterfront area is now home to fantastic restaurants, cafes and studios. Hobart has a thriving art scene and a number of must see attractions. Be sure to explore the historic Battery Point and the docks, stroll the beautiful parks and gardens, admire the views of Hobart from Mt Wellington and sample the delights of the Cadbury Factory and the Cascade Brewery.
