44. Hobart. Travel to the capital of Tasmania, Hobart. The best things to see and do in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.

In this episode 44, we are excited to be taking you to the capital of Tasmania – Hobart. Lyle and I have visited Hobart separately and now together and we just love this city. It’s one of those cities, that the more you go, the more you discover and the more you love it. It is such a clash of history, modern art, nature, sporting events, food, wine and so much more. We start our episode with a crazy fire alarm problem at the airport before heading to the spectacular little-known village of Opossum Bay. Well, I guess the secret will be out after this podcast. We then head to Hobart where we cross the famous Derwent River to the cities historic waterfront area. There we share all about the most visited tourism attraction in Tasmania – the Salamanca markets. This is also where the world famous Sydney to Hobart yacht race finishes. You can’t visit Hobart without a trip to the top of Mount Wellington. We try and describe just how incredible the views are from the Pinnacle at 1271 metres. Obviously, we will tell you about some of the wineries within 30 minutes of Hobart and the oldest operating brewery in Australia – the Cascade Brewery. Hobart has one of the most beautiful and diverse botanic gardens in Australia – and I tell you the best things to see when you visit. Of course, we share where to eat, where to stay and lots of fun and interesting facts about Tasmania – like it has this cleanest air in the world. Stick around to the end though – if you’re not easily shocked – to hear about the fabulous, weird, whacky, fascinating MONA – a privately owned art museum by an eccentric millionnaire that has as one of its most popular exhibitions a poo making machine and a wall of over 150 different plaster casts of ……… a certain female body part. Enjoy this interesting and diverse city in this podcast all about Hobart.
