A perfect taste of Tasmania drive |
Tasman Highway Hobart, TAS 7000 Australia +61 3 6230 8233 (Tasmanian Travel And Information Centre) |
The drive to the lovely coastal town of Bicheno takes just over two hours, but with many wonderful places to enjoy the coastline and lovely historic towns a full day should be allowed to enjoy the journey. Try combining a short walk in either the historic town of Sorell or Buckland, a ferry ride to Maria Island National Park for lunch or a less hurried stop in either Orford or Triabunna. Continue up the spectacular coast road with possible visits to Swansea Wattle Bark Mill and Freycinet Vineyard or a visit to the East Coast Birdlife and Animal Park is worthwhile.

Panoramic views of the city |
Nelson Road Mt Nelson Hobart, TAS 7007 Australia +61 3 6230 8233 (Tasmanian Travel and Information Centre) |
The views over the city from this mountain are only rivalled by those from the more famous Mount Wellington, but as the higher mountain is often shrouded in mist or inaccessible in snowy conditions, a visit to this lookout can provide a dramatic panorama of the city even on days with relatively poor visibility. During the day a visitor can experience the beauty of the city, Derwent River and Hobart Waterfront and at night the city is studded with twinkling lights. Lunch or teas can be taken at the Mount Nelson Signal Station Restaurant. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Early historical settlement |
49 miles from Hobart Hobart, TAS 7190 Australia +61 3 6257 3113 |
Orford, situated on the Prosser River estuary, is 80 kilometres north-east of Hobart on the Tasman Highway. It was named after the Earl of Orford in Suffolk, England and began life as an early shore station in 1825 catering to the needs of the local garrison, whalers and the Maria Island convict settlement. At one time Orford was a busy port when the main transport was by sea. Today it is a holiday town with swimming, fishing, boating and scuba diving in the clear water among its activities.

Salamanca is a great place to buy that unusual gift or souvenir or just enjoy browsing through more than 300 stalls.

And if the stalls are not enough to entice, the market takes place along the historic waterfront with beautifully restored sandstone warehouses now converted into boutique shops, restaurants, galleries, cafes and bars across the road from a pleasant park.

Renovated historic waterfront, great shopping |
Salamanca Place Hobart, TAS 7000 Australia +61 3 6230 8233 |
A row of beautifully renovated sandstone warehouses lines Hobart's historic waterfront. Built in the 1830s, they were centres for trade and commerce. Recently they have been tastefully converted into stylish bars, art studios, book shops, boutiques, restaurants, jewellery stores and outdoor cafes. A lovely place to window shop or relax with a cappuccino or purchase a beautiful (and original) reminder of your visit. Across the road are lawns and park benches sheltered by the spreading branches of plane trees that are transformed by a mass of fairy lights in the evenings. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Superb waterfront |
Hobart, TAS 7005 Australia +61 3 6238 2711 (Hobart City Council) |
In Hobart's early history, Sandy Bay was a half-mile stretch of orchards and gardens. Plans to develop a spa-hotel in the 1880s at Lower Sandy Bay were never realized due to lack of funds but there was a renowned hotel at Wrest Point (did Errol Flynn ever venture inside?) before the casino, the first in Australia, was built. Last century it was a traditional family outing to ride a tram and picnic on Long Beach. Today the Sandy Bay Regatta, Casino, Derwent River races, shopping and the beaches offer different entertainment. Review © 2007, Wcities |
