Australia’s southern city
of Hobart is becoming a
favourite hotspot for its culture,
food, history and natural beauty.
To discover the best of this city,
we’re starting today’s adventure
at The Royal Yacht Club of
Tasmania in Sandy Bay. This
club – which hosts the annual
Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race
- has more than 130 years of
service to the community and
is located along the beautiful
banks of the Derwent River,
which you will enjoy from various
points along the walk.
When you’re ready to get going,
follow Marieville Esplanade
towards Battery Point – one
of Australia’s most fascinating
historic precincts. Settled in
the early 19th century, you’ll
be amazed by the colonial and
Georgian architecture lining the
winding streets of this area.
Follow Napoleon St, turning
left onto Trumpeter St, where
you will find the ShipwrightsArms Hotel – or ‘Shippies’ as
the locals call it. Established in
1846, Shippies has remained a
traditional old-school pub with a
sit-down restaurant out the back.
Make a right onto Colville St,
and then head right again on
Hampden Rd, where you will
arrive at Princes Park. This is the
perfect opportunity for you to sit
down and enjoy a picnic, catch
your breath or simply enjoy the
weather (remember to regularly
apply sunscreen throughout theHobart waterfront
and Mt Wellington.
