Hobart Holidays & Travel Tasmania

Hobart is a unique holiday destination offering all the amenities of a thriving city only minutes from a wide variety of natural beauties. Situated on the west bank of the Derwent River Hobart in many ways retains the flavour of a small town with a casual pace and a population of approximately 180 000.

One of the most beautiful capital cities in the world, Hobart is set under the towering peak of Mount Wellington and has a deep water port rivaling even Sydney Harbour.

Founded in1804 by Colonel David Collins, Hobart is the second oldest city in Australia. It grew out of the first settlement on the island at Risdon Cove, eight kilometres up river, which was founded in 1803 and abandoned five months later for the present site of Hobart. Ridson Cove remains today much as it was 190 years ago and is an unique tourist attraction.

There are many fine examples of Georgian and Victorian architecture, including, Salamanca Place which has a terrace of wharehouses dating back to the whaling days of the 1830's. Nearby Battery Point, the original sea-mens quarters of the city and Maquarie and Davey Street offer more than 60 buildings classified by the National Trust.
