Welcome to Tasmania - Capital City: Hobart

Today's Forecast

To experience spectacular untouched wilderness cross over the Bass Strait to Tasmania. Tasmania is a natural island - and heaven for the hiking enthusiast - over a third of the island is National Park and the 2000 kilometres of walking trails will take you along rugged coastlines, breathtaking mountains and to some of the best beaches in the world. There's also a host of other outdoor activities to experience, such as white water rafting, abseiling trout fishing, jet-skiing and caving (just to name a few!)

Hobart is located on an estuary of the Derwent River in the south east of Tasmania and the CBD is on the western shore adjacent to Sullivan's Cove. Inner suburbs are spread out along the shores of the river and up the hills at the foot of Mount Wellington. The Port of Hobart takes up the entire area of the original Sullivan's Cove.
