Hobart

An exciting blend of heritage, lifestyle, scenery and culture greets the visitor to Hobart. Home of Australia's first casino, Wrest Point Casino, Hobart also offers cultural and educational attractions such as the Antarctic Adventure, Theatre Royale, art galleries and studios, and historical landmarks such as Battery Point.

Hobart's sandstone cottages and warehouses echo Georgian days and its criminal courts and penitentiary, complete with execution yard, tell of the country's harsh beginnings. With its collection of fine restaurants, bustling markets, festivals and entertainment Hobart has something for everyone. And if that's not enough, visitors are invited to take a harbour cruise or drive to the summit of Mt Nelson or Mt Wellington.
