Characteristics
The suburbs of Hobart spread along both banks of the river and into the foothills of Mt Wellington, which is 1,354m (4,442 ft) high. The central part of the city is very attractive. Hobart is the second oldest capital city in Australia, founded very soon after Sydney. Its architecture reflects its age, with beautifully preserved sandstone buildings unsullied by pollution, and clean, clear streets. It is a great place for a holiday and is well served by many hotels, motels, caravan parks and camping places.

Points of Interest
Hobart has more than 90 buildings which have been classified by the National Trust, 32 of them are in Macquarie Street and 31 in Davey Street, but apart from those there are numerous other well maintained buildings still in use today. They are some of the city's most attractive features.

The National Trust has regular walking tours of the city on Saturday mornings. They start at 9.30am and last 2-3 hours.

If you are not in Hobart on a Saturday some of the more interesting buildings are:
Parliament House, part of which was originally the Customs House built between 1835 and 1840. The stone for the building came from what is now a lake in the grounds of Government House. The cellars, once the bonded store, still display broad arrows on the brickwork. The Legislative Council chamber has housed that body since 1856. The House of Assembly chamber is housed in a wing built in 1939. Parliament House is situated at the lower end of Murray Street opposite the wharves and is fronted by spacious lawns and gardens.

Government House, 6234 2611, is built in Tudor Gothic style. It has 70 rooms and 50 chimneys, and took from 1840 to 1858 to complete.

The Theatre Royal in Campbell Street - Australia's oldest theatre is built in the regency style and is a reminder of a more gracious era.

The Customs House Hotel, cnr Morrison and Murray Streets, 6234 6645, was first licensed in 1846. This was the prototype for the hotels of the old Hobart waterfront of the 19th century.

Battery Point, save for the modern hotels, looks much the same as it did a century ago. Houses and cottages are packed into a jumble of narrow streets and lanes which gives the area a maritime atmosphere. The oldest building is the 1818 signal station which was used to relay messages from another station on Mt. Nelson. There is a fine terrace of Georgian sandstone warehouses on one side of Salamanca Place which now house restaurants, galleries and some offices. Open-air markets are now held on the other side, where the "New Wharf" used to be, every Saturday in summer. In winter the markets move into one of the warehouses. St George's Church stationed nearby has Australia's oldest Classical Revival spire.

Other interesting churches include St. Mary's Cathedral, Harrington Street, St. David's Anglican Cathedral, cnr Macquarie & Murray Streets, the Holy Trinity Church, North Hobart and The Scots Church and the Uniting Church (formerly Congregational), New Town. All of these churches were built in the fine architectural tradition of the great cathedrals of Europe and Britain. The imposing St Mary's was built on the site of St. Virgilius, the first Catholic Church to be built in Tasmania. Much of St. Mary's sandstone work had to be rebuilt as the original foundations were faulty. St David's is an example of the Gothic Revival style. It's solid silver altar vessels were presented by King George III in 1803. Scots Church was first knows as St Andrews, and the 1830 building is notable for its heavy battlements. The New Town church was built in 1842 in Romanesque style.

The historic home Runnymede in Bay Road, New Town, was built in 1844. It was a family home from that time until the 1970s. It is now owned by the National Trust, and is open for inspection daily 10am-4.30pm, except Good Friday, the month of July and Christmas Day. An admission fee of $7.70 adults and $5.50 children is charged, 6278 1269.

Penitentiary Chapel and Criminal Courts, cnr Brisbane and Campbell Streets, were built in the early 1830s. Inspection is daily 10am-2pm, except Good Friday and Christmas Day. An admission fee of $7.70 adults and $5.50 children is charged, 6231 0911.

Hobart's main shopping area is around the Cat & Fiddle Arcade, which has an animated clock that is activated every hour on the hour. You will see the cat, fiddle, dog, dish, cow and spoon!

The Tasman Bridge is one of the main landmarks of the city, and spans the Derwent Estuary just to the north of the city centre. In 1975 it was struck by a ship, causing part of the roadway of the bridge to collapse, killing 12 people. The bridge was closed for over a year, effectively creating two population centres. The only way over the Estuary was through a winding temporary bridge floated on pontoons.

The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, 6234 6299, and Queen's Domain, where you can relax after a hectic morning or afternoon sightseeing, are near Government House. If you are hungry, there is a pleasant restaurant in the Garden grounds, 6234 4849.

The Wrest Point Casino, 6225 0112, is Hobart's other landmark. It was Australia's first legal casino, and is as well known as a convention centre.

Anglesea Barracks is the nation's oldest military establishment. Some of the buildings date back to the early 1800s and the guns outside the gate were cast before 1774. It is hopen daily, and guided tours are held on Tuesday morning at 11am.

Hobart's city centre is very close to the harbour. From certain vantage points, it often appears that boats are moored in the streets. Most of the waterfront is recreational area which is frequented by locals and visitors alike. The annual blue water classic, The Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race begins on Boxing Day, and finishes at Constitution Dock right in the heart of the city.

There are quite a few interesting museums in Hobart.
The Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery is housed at 5 Argyle Street, and has an emphasis on Tasmanian Aborigines and early colonial activities. It is hopen daily 10am-5pm and admission is free, 6211 4177.

The Allport Museum and Library of Fine Arts is in the State Library in Murray Street - open Mon-Fri 9.30am-5pm, admission free, 6211 4177.

The John Elliott Classics Museum is at the University of Tasmania at Sandy Bay, 6226 2235.

The Lady Franklin Museum, in Lenah Valley, is built like a Greek temple, and is the headquarters of the Art Society of Tasmania. It has a display of paintings by Tasmania's leading artists and a library of art books. Open Sat-Sun 1.30-4.30pm, and admission is free, 6228 0076.

Shot Tower on the Channel Highway, is 10km south from the centre of Hobart. It is here that shot for rifles was made. It affords an excellent view of the Derwent Estuary.

If you are travelling by car then you might like to follow the tours which start at the Town Hall - see the Hobart Visitor Information Centre for details of the places on the tour.

On the opposite side of the Derwent, near Risdon Cove, are the Bowen pyramids in Bowen Park. It was the site of the first european settlement in Tasmania. These house historic exhibits including Tasmanian Aboriginal artefacts.

The Bellerive Battery also across the Derwent, was built in the 1880s when a Russian invasion was feared. From the Fort you have excellent views of the Derwent Estuary and Mt Wellington.

If you like chocolate then you may be interested in visiting the Cadbury/Schweppes Factory at Claremont. Tours can be organised by phoning 6249 0333. Inspections take places on hTues, Wed, Thurs at 9am, 9.30am, 10am. The factory is closed at certain times during the year because of annual leave by employees, so check before you visit. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

The old Cascade Brewery is a striking relic of colonial times, and is set picturesquely beside a stream in the shadow of Mt Wellington. Guided tours are available, 6221 8300. Mt Wellington, 1270m (4,167 feet), has many walking tracks and offers a superb view of Hobart, but it can get cold up there even in summer. In winter it is often dusted with snow.

Festivals
The Salamanca Arts Festival, featuring performing arts and craft displays, is held in September.

Facilities
Hobart has all the facilities you would expect of a capital city - horse racing, car racing, lawn bowls, golf courses, squash and tennis courts, swimming pools, cricket and football ovals, convention facilities etc.

Outlying Attractions
The Derwent Valley
Head north along the Brooker Highway past Claremont and the Cadbury factory, and then take the Lyell Highway at Granton. Granton is where you can see the Bridgewater Causeway which was built by convict labour.

Boyer is 32km (20 miles) from Hobart. The news-print mills here supply about half of Australia's news-print.
New Norfolk, which is a few kilometres further on, could almost be a village of England with its quaint old buildings. It is classified by the National Trust as a historic town. It is possible to get to New Norfolk by launch from Hobart. Hops are grown in the surrounding countryside.

Plenty, where brown and rainbow trout are raised at the 'Salmon Ponds', is 11km (7 miles) from New Norfolk.
Mt Field West National Park is 73km (45 miles) from Hobart and well worth a visit. It consists of a high plateau dotted with high peaks and tarns (lakes). The National Parks and Wildlife have huts for hire up in the Park, 6288 1526. They are rudimentary but are a great to use as a base for day long hiking excursions to various tarns and outcrops. The paths are well marked, but I would only advise this sort of activity during the summer months. For winter, there are a number of ski lodges up here and a number of tow bars. Nearer to the entrance, and easily accessible, are the attractive Russell Falls whose rock formation is in a series of levels over which the water tumbles.

South of Hobart
Kingston-Blackmans Bay is south along the coast and one of Hobart's fastest growing outer suburban areas. It has attractive beaches (little surf) and picnic areas. Blackmans Bay has a small blowhole, and lookouts at Doughty Point and Piersons Point offer superb views of Bruny Island and Storm Bay.

Margate, which is 19km (12 miles) from Hobart, has a motor museum and an unusual market. The market has its headquarters in Tasmania's last passenger train. The converted carriages house toy-makers, glass blowers, woodworkers, artists and other creative pursuits.

Snug, a few kilometres further south on the Channel Highway, is an aptly named village, and a little further on some 34km (21 miles) south of Hobart is Kettering. The terminal for the Bruny Island vehicular ferry is here.

Bruny Island is a popular holiday destination for campers, although I would not be too keen camping here during winter. The main township is Adventure Bay on the east coast of South Bruny Island. The island has a narrow neck, and on North Bruny there is an aero club and airstrip with a memorial to some of the country's early navigators. At Fluted Cape at the southern end of Adventure Bay on South Bruny Island is the spot where Captain Cook landed in his voyage down the east coast of Tasmania. There is also a Museum of that cruel and talented British seaman, Captain Bligh, on this part of the island. For more information, contact Bruny D'Entrecasteaux Visitor Centre, Ferry Road, Ket-tering, (03) 6267 4494.

Huonville is south and inland from the areas mentioned above. It is 37km (23 miles) south of Hobart and is the commercial centre of the area. It is a pretty area which has pleasant rural and seascape scenery. The Huon Valley was a large apple exporter before Britain joined the EEC. There is an apple industry museum here, as well as a motor museum and a couple of hotels. The population is a little over 1300 people. A cruise on the 'Huon Pride' is a good way to see the area. Information is available at the centre on the Esplanade, (03) 6264 1838.

Greevston is a further 31km (19 miles) south of Huonville on Port Huon. It is the administrative centre of the Esperance Municipality which includes Macquarie Island some 1000 (621 miles) further south. Timber is an important industry in this area. There are stands of softwood, which is used in shipbuilding. Cruises are available on the D'Entrecasteaux Channel and South Coast. The Visitor Information Centre is in Church Street, (03) 6297 1836.

Hartz Mountains National Park is reached through Greevston. It has some of the wildest and most spectacular scenery in the world, and is said to resemble the Canadian Rockies. For information on fees and road access, contact the Parks & Wildlife Service in nearby Dover on 6298 1577.

Dover is a further 21km (13 miles) south of Greevston on the coast. It is the last petrol stop for motorists heading into the lonely and rugged country towards South-East Cape. There are two fish processing factories there.

Southport is another 21km (13 miles) further south from Dover. Nearby is the Hastings Thermal Pool, which is 27C (80F) all year round, and Fairy Caves - 6298 3209. There are daily tours of the caves and a restaurant nearby, although there is no accommodation available.

Lune River is a popular place with gem collectors. A tramway still operates taking tourists for a 6km trip through bushland from the township to The Deep Hole across the bay from Southport.

North of Hobart
Richmond is as elegant today as it was in the 1820s when it was an important military post and convict station linking Hobart with Port Arthur. Situated only 27km (17 miles) north of Hobart on the Coal River, its village green is shaded by leafy green trees, and its old stone buildings house galleries, tea shops, craft boutiques and museums. Old Hobart Town, cnr Henry & Bridge Streets, is a stunning model re-creation of the convict-built town of the 1820s, which you can stroll through at your leisure. The Maze and Tea Rooms, 13 Bridge Street, are open daily 10am-5pm, 6260 2451.

The Richmond Gaol is open daily 9am-5pm except Christmas Day and Good Friday, 6260 2127. The bridge spanning the Coal River is convict built, as are most sandstone buildings in this town. St John's Catholic Church, just up from the bridge, was built in 1836. It is the oldest Catholic Church in Australia, as up until the 1830s public worship in the Catholic faith was outlawed.

If you wish to stay overnight there are a number of hotels in the town. (The telephone area code is the same as Hobart - 03.) Prospect House, 1384 Richmond Road, 6260 2207 - $135; Hatchers Richmond Manor, 73 Prossers Road, 6260 2622 - $85-95 (both have restaurants); and Richmond Cabin & Tourist Park, 48 Middle Tree Road, 6260 2192 - powered sites $16-18 for two, on-site vans $35-45, cabins $45-55.

Tasmania's Holiday coast extends from St. Helens, with the Bay of Fires slightly to the north where many trekkers camp, through to Orford in the south off which is Maria Island, now a National Park. The island is serviced by a ferry in the summer. In winter, check before you leave, 6257 1589. The coast has sheltered beaches, rocky coastline, terrific surf and great fishing. For those used to balmy water temperature, such as most 'mainlanders' (a term used by Tasmanians to describe the rest of Australia) then you will be surprised to find that even in summer the water temperature is cold. You cannot stay in for too long. Cramps are common.

Continuing north, Sorell has charming B&Bs, Orford boasts at least 8 decent motels, villas and guest houses.

Swansea
Situated 137km (85 miles) from Hobart and 51km (32 miles) north of Triabunna, Swansea is a pretty seaside town with has 2 caravan parks, more than 10 home host accommodation outlets, and 3 motels (around $60-90 double).
To get to Coles Bay, a very popular tourist spot inundated with Tasmanians camping during the summer, you have to travel 32km (20 miles) north before turning south along 32km (20 miles) of partly dirt road. Coles Bay is in the vicinity of Freycinet Peninsula which is a very scenic spot.

Bicheno
The town of Bicheno is 43km (27 miles) north of Swansea, and is a very attractive spot. The beaches are covered in an incredibly soft silver sand that is unique to the area. Off the main beach is Diamond Island, home to the fairy penguin, which can be reached at low tide. Keep an eye on the time and tide because the behaviour of the penguins can be very absorbing, and you may find that you have to swim back to the beach. Bicheno was a whaling station, and is now a popular fishing and boating spot. There is a sealife centre, and East Coast Natureworld (6375 1311, admission $11 adult, $5.50 child) nearby. The surfing off Cape Lodt is usually very good.

Accommodation here is no problem with 3 caravan parks - Bicheno Caravan Park, 52 Burgess Street, 6375 1280, powered sites, $14 for two. There are over 20 hotels, motels and guest houses, such as Silver Sands Resort, Burgess Street, 6375 1266 - 35 rooms - $50-85. There is a couple of restaurants in Burgess Street - Cyrano and Mary Harvey's.
St Marys is 46km (29 miles) north of Bicheno and slightly inland. It has a hotel with 14 rooms available. It is at the junction of the Esk Main Road and the Tasman Highway.

St Helens
This bayside town is on Georges Bay, a further 37km (23 miles) north. It is a popular holiday and commercial fishing centre, and the most northern town on the east coast. From here the road swings westwards towards Scottsdale through some beautiful mountainous country. The permanent population of St Helens is 2000 people, but this swells during the summer. It has a variety of clubs - bowling, sailing, and golf with facilities for boating, water skiing, and surfing, although you get good surf further to the north on the Bay of Fires around Binalong Bay. If you are staying overnight many backpackers camp here on the beach.

We found that if you want to swim every day and go to see a few sights and not rush yourself, but take in the feel of the east coast- seeing the fairy penguins, having a delightful lunch in one of the pubs in the towns along the coast - the trip takes two days. You can leave Hobart in the morning, go to Port Arthur for the day and then head north stopping overnight in either Swansea or Bicheno. Next day you can take your time until you get to St Helens, and stay there for the next night. The following day you can head towards Launceston, a pleasant day-long drive.

Prices of accommodation vary considerably depending on the standard and the season. Here we have a selection, with prices for a double room per night, which should be used as a guide only. The telephone area code for St Helens is 03.
