Hobart TAS

Hobart is Australia's southernmost capital city and the country's second oldest. The fact that it is also the smallest (population 129,000) is a key to its particular charm. A riverside city with a busy harbour, its mountain backdrop offers fine views over the compact suburbs below. Its beautiful Georgian buildings (even the harbour side warehouses are picturesque), relaxed atmosphere, numerous parks and attractive homes make Hobart one of the most enjoyable and engaging of Australia's cities.

Its mainland cousins may regard Hobart as conservative and provincial, but it does have a thriving arts-and-crafts scene and a real sense of history, and, for walking, eating and just soaking in the atmosphere, it can't be bettered.
