Australia - Tasmania - Hobart, Mount Wellington & Boat Trip
In the second video instalment from Tasmania we head up to the top of Mount Wellington, the views of Hobart and the surrounding area were absolutely breathtaking... as was the icy cold wind. After a visit to the Shot Tower at Taroona we headed back to have a walk around the port in Hobart. The following day we visited a replica of Douglas Mawson's Hut which houses a fascinating museum about the his Antarctic expedition, after that we headed out on a great boat trip with Finn from Pennicott Wilderness Journeys.

Hobart Travel Guide - Australia Amazing Adventure
Hobart Travel Guide - Australia Amazing Adventure
Hobart is the capital city of the Australian state of Tasmania. Hobart is small and intimate compared to larger mainland Australian cities, reflecting the small size of the state. The metropolitan area stretches north and south along the Derwent River, crossed by several bridges. Notable for being one of the coldest Australian cities, it has a mild temperate oceanic climate, with four distinct seasons.
Founded in 1804 by Colonel David Collins, Hobart is the second oldest city in Australia. It grew out of the penal 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. The city has many beautiful historic buildings and precincts, especially in the area around the river. There are many fine examples of Georgian and Victorian architecture, such as Salamanca Place, which has a terrace of warehouses dating back to the whaling days of the 1830s. Nearby Battery Point, the original seamen's quarters of the city and Macquarie and Davey Street offer more than 60 buildings classified by the National Trust.
Hobart is a harbour town – a port city where the world rushes in on the tide and ebbs away again, bringing with it influences from afar and leaving the locals buzzing with global zeitgeist. Or so the theory goes. These days, Hobart’s waterfront precinct is certainly abuzz, with old pubs alongside new craft-beer bars, myriad cafes, museums, festivals, ferries, fishing boats, yachts, accommodation and a floating pier upholding fine restaurants…all of it washed with sea-salty charm and a sense of history. On a sunny afternoon, there are few more pleasant places to find yourself.
Riding high above the city is kunanyi/Mt Wellington, a craggy basalt beast seemingly made for mountain biking and bushwalking. Known as kunanyi by local Aboriginal people, and just 'the mountain' by everybody else, this 1271m-high monolith both defines the city below and shelters it. Drive to the summit in any season – you're assured of either a show-stopping view or an out-of-time, lunar, cloud-shrouded experience, wandering around between snowdrifts, lichen-dappled boulders and the stunted plants that somehow survive in these lofty skies. Finally, barrel back down to the waterfront on a mountain-bike tour like no other.
Hobart has a profusion of eating establishments ranging from the cheap to the luxuriously expensive. Freshly caught seafood is a specialty of the region, and there are several excellent seafood restaurants. Deep-sea Trevalla is unique to Tasmania and must be tried. Tasmanian lobster is also excellent. Scallop pie is also unique to Tasmania and can be easily purchased from the Salamanca Market food stalls. Restaurants are concentrated in the Salamanca and North Hobart areas.
There are several good options when it comes to getting around Hobart. By and far the most convenient would be having a private vehicle but biking, walking, public transit, and taxis are all good options too. The public bus system in Hobart can actually be fairly complicated. There are more than a dozen different fare types (and prices) depending on route/location, planned destination, concession types, time of day (sometimes) and more. On the plus side, schedules tend to be clearly posted, buses tend to be on time, staff is generally very patient, friendly, and helpful, and drivers can give change, so exact coin when purchasing a ticket is not necessary.

Taste of Tasmania
Down there drifting off in the Indian and Pacific Ocean, it could be easy to overlook Tasmania. But then you’d be missing out on one of the country's prize places. It’s everything that’s great about Australia, packed into one compact, easily explorable package.
Hobart, Tasmania, January 30, 2014
We (the orchestra on the Radiance of the Seas cruise ship) had the day off and we were in port until 7:30pm so we had plenty of time to go to the Bonorong wildlife reserve and the Hobart Botanical gardens. We were going to go on the tour that goes to Bonorong but the lady at the information center said there weren't a lot of people interested in going in the morning so they canceled the early morning bus and the next bus would be at 2:00pm. We got to the info center at 10:30am and didn't want to wait until 2:00pm so Ladislav (our drummer in the orchestra-his nickname is Slavek) and Andriy (our pianist in the orchestra) decided to hire a cab for the day. The cab driver got us to Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary in about 25 minutes and he waited an hour and a half while we had a look around. Then, we drove back to Hobart and dropped us off at the Botanical gardens, which is only about 2 miles from downtown. After we visited the Botanical gardens we walked back into town to have some Japanese food, then we walked back to the ship. Lots of walking! We were exhausted at the end of the day!! It was a great day with perfect weather (about 75 degrees f) so we didn't mind walking so much.
I never knew the Tasmanian Devil made such an evil sound. You have to hear it to believe it! Very intimidating! I would not want meet one in the wild.
Bonorong is a great place. It takes in injured or orphaned animals and helps them get introduced back into the wild. (if possible). It is also a great place to feed some Kangaroos and see some Tasmanian Devils steal some sunglasses and make some evil noises when you try and take the sunglasses away from them. You will see what I am talking about when you watch the video. Enjoy!!
