Facts About Hobart
Nestling
between the lofty heights of Mt Wellington and the sparkling
estuary of the Derwent, Hobart
is a city that’s shaped and defined by hills, bushland
and water. Sunshine on convict-chipped stone, whitecaps
riffling the breezy river, the twinkle of lights in the
branches of Salamanca’s plane trees, a spectrum of
fine flavours from southern Tasmania’s wonderful
food and wine – they’re just some of the things
that make a short break in Hobart a great idea.

of resort-style facilities including health & fitness
centre, cafe and child care – all indoors in a pleasant

For
a wide view of this scenic city, take a drive to the
summit of one of Hobart’s mountains.
Mt Nelson is a 10 minute drive from the city – the
Signal Station on top was one of a chain of semaphore masts
that relayed messages between Hobart and Port Arthur. For
a much wider panoramic view of the city, river and estuary,
it’s a half-hour drive through alpine forest to the
1271 metre pinnacle of Mt Wellington – on a clear
day the view extends from Ben Lomond in north-east Tasmania
to the ranges of the Southwest.
