Welcome to the latest video in our Australian Video series where we look to provide you with guided insight into the gorgeous Australian State of Tasmania.
When you first arrive in Hobart, you may not be aware that you’re exploring a former prison.
This onetime penal colony is located between Mount Wellington and Port Hobart and features a number of exquisite colonial buildings in breathtaking natural surroundings. There’s a variety of things to do within the city, so chow down on seafood from a waterfront restaurant before stopping by one of the galleries built into old whale oil warehouses. Don’t forget to check out the Hobart Theatre, a must-see on any Hobart tour. This structure was built by convicts brought to Australia in the 19th century, and it still hosts live performances today.
Hobart sightseeing will no doubt include the Maritime Museum, which celebrates Hobart’s ties to the sea. Go for a sail on the Lady Nelson, a tall ship that makes regular excursions out to the harbor. You’ll work up an appetite trimming the sails and steering the ship, so why not venture to the Salamanca Market? For over 30 years, this market has featured fresh produce, local artwork, and clothing, and you’re bound to score a good bargain.
Next, go upriver to MONA, the Museum of Old and New Art. This building descends three floors down into the cliffs surrounding it, and its often dark-natured artwork is featured in vast, cavernous spaces. All that art is bound to make you thirsty, so pay a visit to some of the wineries dotting Hobart’s surrounding landscape. Sip responsibly on a glass of wine, nibble a wedge of cheese, and enjoy the rolling green hills around you. Now this is living!

In Hobart, many of the parents ignore traffic laws with their children. Many of these parents are civil servants. Youth in Tasmania deserve law-abiding, ethical and conscientious civil servants. Their future depends upon it. Let's double traffic fines in capital cities and watch law-abiding streets and adults appear, in Hobart!!
It's a shithole. DO NOT GO. Full of dregs and weirdos. Better off going to Melbourne or Sydney.
looking forward to see Bruny island,Soon.

Nice tour
Where is your favourite destination?
Please do Launceston, Tasmania.
So far Hobart is my favourite city in Australia. I was only there for a few hours but it was so pretty and chilled, which can tend to be quite the opposite of Sydney.
200 years ago I would’ve definitely stolen a loaf of bread to get to Australia
Sooooooo beautiful place. I love it
Pls do Devonport n Launceston in Tasmania
how too visit that magnificent place
It's my home!
besides, living on a triangle shaped island isn't that bad!
I was watching Isaac butter field’s Tasmania video and I somehow got here to see the capital of Tasmania hmhmhmhmhm
I would love to live in Tasmania
I've been there just a week ago. Tasmania is so beautiful, filled with amazing people, food, wineries, landscapes. Really great place to retire or just live forever happy :)
Beautiful nature
Looks like New Zealand but smaller, and not as high in elevation.
most racist & worst state in Australia…
Do some travel guides for Tasmania, and New Zealand national parks because they are simply stunning!
Tasmania is drifting away from Mainland Australia.
beautiful city ，i love there，
1830's.. a pub for every 200 people!! If only we could time travel!
lovely city.
Best time to visit during the year?
How is it for a Black person to live here?
Chinese province 25% owned by Chinese. So what you going to do about it Tasmanians??????????????????????????????????????. Nothing.
in hindi
Well preserved city. I'd like it for the weather. I like cool places
Cool
We can all agree that Canada is the best country
I spent more than half a year in 2011 in a town called Berridale. Suburbs of Hobart, right near Mona, It was the most peaceful time of my life and I still want to feel peace there.
Sydney = Beach and Ferry
Canberra = Political
Melbourne = Hipster
Hobart = Prison
Adelaide = Historic
Perth = Famous people
Darwin = Military
Brisbane = Parks
BONUS:
Gold Coast = SURFERS
Looks like Scotland, Canada, or New Zealand
Okm
Of all the places in Australia, I really want to see Tasmania the most!
