Southern Tasmania

Considered by many to be the beating heart of Tasmania, Hobart is not only the capital city by name but also the cultural capital. Think endless annual festivals, a bustling waterfront, a modern arts scene and old sandstone warehouses lining the Derwent River. Hobart is home to almost half the state of Tasmania’s population - making it an urban oasis, albeit still on Tasmanian terms. The notorious island pace is still prominent here, however you will certainly find it slightly more reminiscent of a mainland city (as locals so affectionately refer to the rest of Australia).
