ADVENTURESHo art,tasmaniaLost World Track. One of the
many great walks on Mount Wellington
fishing fleet and private yachts as the sun sets
behind the mountain.
For culture lovers and anyone looking to
bag a Tasmanian treasure, a wander through
the peaceful galleries, boutiques and specialist
stores hidden in the old sandstone warehouses
that line Salamanca Place is also highly
recommended.
From Salamanca, take Kelly Steps up the
hill for a self-guided amble around the historic
Battery Point precinct. Fuel yourself with a
delicious bakery treat from local institution
Jackman and McRoss and grab yourself a fresh
loaf for your pantry while you’re there.
If you’re in town on Saturday, SalamancaPlace is transformed into a bustling
marketplace for the Salamanca Market – an
undeniably popular Hobart highlight with both
visitors and locals for the friendly vibes, great
food and a variety of local and imported arts,
crafts and souvenirs.
Also worth adding to your itinerary is the
Sunday Farm Gate Farmers’ Market, held in the
city centre. This is the perfect place to stock
your van pantry before you hit the road with
seasonal fruit and veg, honey, kombucha, tea
and a changing array of treats from artisan
producers (if you can get your hands on one,
the sourdough donuts are beyond delicious!)
Your itinerary is now looking pretty full, Iknow, but before you leave, pay a visit to North
Hobart’s main street, which is lined with shops,
restaurants, cafes and bars. You’ll find a cuisine
to suit most taste buds for your evening meal
and it’s also a good spot for a lazy brunch
(Berta and Room for a Pony’s breakfast menus
are both top notch).
North Hobart is also home to the State
Cinema, which has been serving Hobart’s film
lovers for over a hundred years. It’s the kind
of cinema where you can grab a glass of wine
and a choc top and enjoy your film as it should
be enjoyed! There’s also a great little bookshop
attached where you can browse while you wait
for your film to begin.CTA
